TV series / crime drama
The law of Celavella is one of the works I feel most fond of. When I got into this series, they had already produced the first two seasons (which had been directed by Gerard Gormezano), and for the next two seasons (26 episodes), they offered Carlos Sedes and me the direction of the show.
It was a very special project for several reasons: first, making a period thriller on that moment was something unique in Spain; second, every episode was like a small movie in which we had different narrative and esthetic challenges; and third, it was obvious for all of us that the possibility of shooting something more elegant and fancy than usual was the reason why absolutely all the crew struggled to do their best. And so, the shooting was one of the most intense and demanding experiences I ever lived.
