Director Bio
I´m Néstor Ruiz Medina (27 years old) director, scriptwriter and lover of audiovisual language since I was a child. That´s why I decided to devote my life to that who really represent me, to tell stories to create emotions in the spectator.
I study audiovisuals in Madrid, and when I finished I created my own film company call: 7 Cuerdas Films S.L. Working in my own audiovisual company I can develop my career, my passion.
In all these years I have been working in fiction, in my own projects of short films, videoclips, art films, commercials… As a DOP I have worked in a few short and feature films. I have produced some of the most interesting short films of college friends of the industry.
Right now I´m in the promotion of my last Short film as a director: BARAKA. And Preparing my first feature film call: Yasuni, a co-production between Spain and Ecuador.
