Juan Carlos Fresnadillo

A master of suspense and twisted narratives, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo was born in 1967 in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. Primarily active since the mid-1990s, Fresnadillo is known for his work in the horror and thriller genres, with his standout projects being "28 Weeks Later" and "Intacto"; the latter of which earned him a Goya Award for Best New Director. Characterized by a thematic focus on survival, his authorial style often employs grim, post-apocalyptic settings to heighten the sense of dread and danger.

As a person, Fresnadillo is an artist who is not afraid to tackle dark themes, creating stories that strike a haunting balance between the surreal and the all too real.
