In his more than two hundred films he has worked under the orders of such famous directors as Luis Buñuel, Carlos Saura, Vicente Escrivá, Francisco Regueiro, Jaime Chávarri, Julio Diamante or Basilio Martín Patino, among many others. In addition, from 1995 and for twelve years he has been a second and third year Film Editor teacher at the School of Cinematography and Audiovisual of the Community of Madrid (ECAM).
