RubEn Navarro - FILM-MAKING

THE JOURNEY

I was born in Malaga, a beautiful, sunny city by the Mediterranean Sea on the southern coast of Spain. Since childhood cinema has been my greatest passion. I left home at eighteen years old to study AV Communications at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. After earning my B.A., I continued my development by studying advertising and public relations at the Universidad Antonio de Nebrija, eventually earning the distinction of Valedictorian. I then worked in television at Antena 3 Television while pursuing my Ph.D in Film at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. I quickly became eager to translate the skills and knowledge I was acquiring at Antena 3 into a successful film career. So I said goodbye to my family and friends and travelled across the globe to plant myself in the heart of the entertainment industry. Here in Los Angeles I have been able to expand my skill set as a director and as an editor by incorporating my own European aesthetic into the films that I make.

TELLING STORIES

To direct has become one of my passion. To be able to convey an emotion using shots, color and actor as tools is without a doubt the magic of the movies.

I make movies I want to see.
--Neil LaBute

Moving lives

The essence of cinema is editing. It's the combination of what can be extraordinary images of people during emotional moments, or images in a general sense, put together in a kind of alchemy.
--Francis Ford Coppola
