JAVIER CASTRO MÁRQUEZ
SCREENWRITER - FILM DIRECTOR EDITOR - MAKER
I'm a shaman who is always looking for the proper mushrooms and herbs to make my audience hallucinate. In other words, I'm a storyteller, a screenwriter and film director.
I like to stay updated (and enjoy) not only with movies, but with social networks, video games, TV, news and apps. For that reason my work goes from writing and directing for television, to producing a Youtube channel with a continued performance for more than four years. I've also worked in advertising and in the academic field.
The link that relates all of my work is the seek of honesty and emotional storytelling. An influence that I have received from my favorite authors, which I consider my "secret" masters: Haruki Murakami, Paul Auster and Mario Puzzo.
