DIRECTOR

The artist behind the film

Víctor Bárcena is a filmmaker from Spain (Madrid, 1979). After graduating with a MSc in Aerospace Engineering, he obtained a MFA in Film Directing. He has kept on mastering new filmmaking skills ever since: film producing, scriptwriting, acting, digital photography, 3D animation, image and sound editing, vfx compositing, and many more. His profound vision of cinema as a total form of art has made him entirely devote his efforts so far to making such conception come true in an independent filmography. Find here more about some of his best works.
