PAWNS was also recognized as the "Best International Short Film" at the prestigious AAHSFF Festival in New York (the largest student film festival in the world), making it the first Spanish short film winner in the history of the event.
Next, Pablo directed, wrote and produced the critically acclaimed shorts MUNNA and THE GIRL WITH THE BLURRED FACE, which went on to screen at genre festivals around the world (CineFantasy Festival, LUSCA International Film Festival, Cinema Jove, Melrose Film Festival), earning the "Audience Award" at Quartmetratges and a "Special Jury Mention" at the Navarra Fantastic Film Festival.
Pablo is a recent graduate of Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya (ESCAC) in Barcelona, Spain. His thesis film VOYAGER, a blend of neo-noir thriller, female-driven character drama and fantasy, is currently on the festival circuit and has qualified for the Goya Awards (Spain's Academy Awards).
Pablo has served as a programmer for the Manises International Fantastic Film Festival, and has been a member of the Young Jury at the prestigious Giffoni Film Festival.
He's currently developing his first feature THE WHISTLER.
