Javier studied I.T. and never considered filmmaking as a job until he started working as a hardware engineer at the BBC in England.There he met many film and TV professionals who opened his eyes to what before it was just a hobby. Still in England, he started making music videos for local bands for free and soon returned to Spain as a local film studio offered him a job. He worked there as DoP and editor in many projects and in 2014 released his first documentary as director: Midnight Sun, a music road trip filmed in Finland, Norway and Sweden. After that he moved to Germany and now works as freelance filmmaker in Dresden.
