About Me

Me llamo Ignacio, pero me dicen Nacho.
Si hay algo que entendí desde pequeño fue que quería conocer el mundo. Después el cine, la fotografía y las artes narrativas captaron mi atención. Me sumergí en ellas profundamente. Entonces, a partir de ahí, siempre quise hacer convivir mis dos grandes pasiones: viajar y crear.
Lo cierto es que soy un fanático de aprender, me gusta rodearme de gente que me haga crecer.
Practico natación hace años y encontré en agua una conexión especial. Hace un año que soy vegetariano y me hace sentir mejor con mi cuerpo y con el mundo que me rodea.
Viajé todo el 2022 por Europa y ahora estoy de vuelta en Buenos Aires. De hecho, volví 5 días antes del mundial de fútbol, así que fui un afortunado en poder vivir ese mes mágico aquí en mi ciudad.
Actualmente vivo aquí nuevamente y con ganas de seguir creciendo en el universo audiovisual :)

Educación
En 2021 me gradué de la Universidad del Cine de Buenos Aires (FUC). Sí, soy cineasta :) Hice muchos talleres: de dramaturgia, de guion, de fotografía, de curaduría, de literatura, de astrología, hasta un curso de tarot!

Experiencia laboral
Ya en mi etapa universitaria, trabajé en una productora de tele, en publicidades, en videoclips, cortometrajes y en una agencia de casting. Conozco casi todas las áreas del ambiente audiovisual; fui director, productor, editor, asistente de dirección, fotógrafo. Lo cierto es que me gusta conocer de todo un poco y eso me llevó a trabajar de varias cosas.

English:

My name is Ignacio, but people call me Nacho.
If there is something that I understood since I was little, was that I wanted to travel all around the world. When I got a little bit older, cinema, photography and narrative arts caught my attention. I immersed myself in them deeply. So, from then on, I always wanted to make my two great passions coexist: traveling and creating.
The truth is that I am a fan of learning, I like to surround myself with people who make me grow.
I am a swimm lover; I have been swimming for years and found a special connection in water. I've been a vegetarian for a year and it makes me feel better about my body and the world around me.
In 2022 I have been travelling all over Europe and now I´m back in Buenos Aires. I arrived 5 days before the World Cup so I was lucky enough to lived all those magic days here in Argentina. It was a beautiful moment for all argentinean people, despite of the economic crisis.
Now I am working as a creative developer and visual researcher in the audiovisual world, specifically in advertising. I am planning to direct my second short film in 2024!!

Education
In 2021 I graduated from the Film University of Buenos Aires (FUC). Yes, I'm a filmmaker :) I did many workshops: dramaturgy, scriptwriting, photography, curatorship, literature, astrology, even a tarot course!

Work experience
When I finished high school I worked in a real estate agency. Also in a mechanical auto parts workshop. I was younger and needed of money haha.
In my University period, I worked in a television production company, in advertisements, in video clips, short films and in a casting agency. I know almost all areas of the audiovisual environment; I am director, producer, editor, assistant director, photographer, creative developer, visual researcher. The truth is that I like to know a little about everything and that led me to work on various things.
