(Pelotas)
TV series / Comedy
Balls was one of the best experiences I’ve ever lived on television.
Corbacho and Cruz -whom I’ve always admired since I watched Tapas for the first time- called me to work on the first season with them, but I could not go, because I was about to shoot 18 meals. And when the filming of my feature was postponed, I thought I had lost a unique chance of learning beside these great directors
So, when almost one year later, they called me again for working on the second season, I didn’t doubt it for a second and, that way, I had the pleasure of entering their world, telling those warm and human stories, and enjoying myself along with a spectacular cast and crew.
