In 2004, he directs and produces his first experimental full-length film, Náufragos (Shipwrecked). In 2006, he promotes the manifesto Cinelibre (FreeFilm), an alternative production platform inspired on guerrilla cinema, and which fosters solitary filmmaking. Fiesta (Party), his first full-length documentary (2008), was officially selected for the international festivals of Warsaw, Toulouse and Montreal, among others, besides inaugurating the season of Spanish cinema at the Instituto Cervantes in Shanghai and Beijing. In 2013, he directs and releases the full-length film “Plan B”, selected by the Bogota International Film Festival. 

In 2015 he published his first novel, Eo, and Estigia followed in 2019. His latest novel is El cocinero (2023), which received the "Ciudad de Alcalá" award for narrative.
