Álvaro Robles

After developing my professional career in copywriting, I decided to give a chance to what I had always wanted to do: to tell stories. To do so, I studied in schools like Metrópolis or the Madrid FIlm Institute. Since then, I have written and directed several projects, achieving with Umbrellas a nomination for best animated short film at the Goya Awards 2022, more than 150 selections in national and international festivals and numerous awards and nominations. Currently, I work as a scriptwriter in the animated TV Series SuperThings. I am also developing my first feature film, Silence Sometimes, selected by the Spanish Film Academy Residency Program and presented in the European Film Market in the Berlinale.
