An Afternoon of Fishing

Spain Hugo De la Riva was born in Alcázar de San Juan (Spain) in 1983. Since he was a child, he showed great interest in storytelling and visual arts. For this reason, after he finished high school he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the Antonio López School. During that period, while he was working on his drawings and sculptures, he found cinema to be a way of blending all his artistic concerns as a means to express his emotions. It was then that he decided to get a Higher Technical Certificate in Image from the Puerta Bonita School in Madrid. From then on, he began doing audiovisual productions: commercials, TV shows and short films. Thanks to some of his short films like “Blondi” or “Campeón”, Hugo has won several awards: 4 FECICAM awards (Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Short Film, Audience Award), 3 PÁVEZ awards (Best Screenplay, Best Short Film, Audience Award), 1 Best Short Film Award in Nueva Olas International Film Festival, 2 Audience Awards in the International Film Festivals of Consuegra and Mal del Cal International Film Festival, 1 Promofest Honorable Mention in the Short of the Year Summer, 1 Film Award in Manzarec Regional Film Festival 1 Corazón Onda Cero award for his cultural contribution in La Mancha.
