About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the perfect burger and tiramisu, get extra time for my own projects, go more to the movies.

A foreigner in a foreign country, kind of a foreigner in my own country too. I live in BCN with my wife, I work too much, I love movies/cinema, travels, music, Internet, wine, beers, burgers and food.

I have an online movies column, I wish I had enough time to work only on my own projects, I'm still on it.

PHILOSOPHY

"For the past thirty years I've been tormented by the same question: Is cinema more important than life?"
Truffaut

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I remember a trip to Algonquin park, Ontario, Canada, with a full bright orange moon, a moose with its baby. Simply amazing picture in my mind.
