Adrián Carande, Pepe Rico and Paula Sanchez Alvarez are three friend that do a bunch of things separately: working on catalan TV (APM?), in film festivals (Animac, b’Ars), developing films and TV series that sometimes get made (Yrreal) and sometimes don't (most of them)… but, most of all, they write. And now they even direct! Joining forces with their talented buds, this trio has abandoned the safety of their text processors to bring you something that hopefully will make you laugh.
Paula Sánchez Álvarez: script for “Yrreal” and “Llámalo X” / Pepe Rico: script for “APM?” and "Tus Muertos" (Fasten Films) / Adrián Carande: script and animation in “Fora de Lloc”.

Carles Martinez Agenjo is a film critic rather than a director. He has been working for movie magazines such as Scifiworld and radio programs as Va de Cine. He also has been involved in some book publications: El universo de Gene Tierney (Notorious) and La naturaleza se rebela (Hermenaute). After a lot of consideration, Carles decided to make a leap into filmmaking and direct a short film that confesses its concern for terror. www.instagram.com/cm_agenjo
