Since his childhood, cinema and theater were his passion. Imagining, seeing and reading stories became his profession.

A few years later, after completing both studies, he obtained a master’s degree in film criticism at ECAM. Shortly after receiving his degree, and imagining a future where acting and writing could coexist in his daily life, he arrived at the Fotogramas editorial office, where he devoted himself entirely to creating content around what he cared most about.
