Director's Biography

Eloi Texidor was born on April 3, 1989 in Torroella de Montgrí. He would like to study Catalan Philology, but he made a last-minute decision and studied Audiovisual Communication. As this was not enough, he did the Master’s degree in Creative Documentary at the UAB. For now, "the only thing that I film is people enjoying themselves in night clubs".

Iris Domato is a journalist born in Vigo but had trained in Santiago de Compostela. After brief experiences in radio, television and newspapers, she moved to Barcelona to study a master’s degree in Creative Documentary at the UAB. She would be very happy if she could ever get to combine journalism with the love of art (in addition, to live on it). Luckily, for her dreaming is free.

Jesús Boyero was born in 1988 in Salamanca and studied Audiovisual Communication and did his master’s degree in Creative Documentary at the UniversitatAutònoma de Barcelona. Therefore, he fears and also fantasizes that people relate him to Carlos Boyero. He also has the Intermediate Piano degree, so he doubts among his cinephile and musical passions.

Teresa Mata was born in Benimaclet, Valencia where she studied Audiovisual Communication. After being an intern in radio and television, she decides to opt for the filmmaking, and especially documentaries. Therefore, she studied her master’s degree in Creative Documentary at the UAB. She likes silence and noise. Little things, colours and black. "I'm thinking what to do with this."

Nihan Yildiz is a Turkish girl who’s passionate about languages and culture. She spent nineteen years of her life in Istanbul. Then, she studied Political Science in Lyon. And then did the Master’s degree in Creative Documentary at the UAB. It’s her first film project. She loves travelling, Barcelona, Italy, nutella and violet.
