Director

After studying Technical Engineering in Telecommunications, Francisco decided to study Audiovisuals at the University of Salamanca in 2009. In February 2010, he did internships as an electrician in the filming of the film "Iceberg" by Grabiel Velázquez, where he acquired an excellent knowledge of cinema in the photography and direction teams due to their close relationship with the directors. In November of that same year, he returned to work as an electrician in Isabel de Ocampo's debut feature “Evelyn” even without having finished his studies in Audiovisual Communication. In 2011, after finishing his studies in Salamanca, he directed several short films and some advertising spots and in August 2013 he founded his production company Metáfora Visual. After 6 years of producing, directing, and editing a large number of advertising spots, in June 2019 he embarked on the script, production, and direction of his first Documentary Film Ganado o Desierto, finishing the editing and post-production process in March 2022.
