Alejandro Renedo Villagrán

Valladolid, 1992.

He graduated in stage direction and dramaturgy from the Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático de Castilla y León and holds a diploma in directing from the ECAM, where he currently works as a teacher and internship coordinator.

During his time at the film school, he directed NI BRET NI KNAT WURST and, later, he graduated with CUARTETO, two stories that delve into the concept of staging as a tool to manage ourselves, even within our own lives, exploring the limits of fiction from the most everyday emotions. In 2020 he wrote and directed DE PERFIL, his third short film, which won awards at various festivals including the Seminci, the Sax International Festival, the León Film and Television Festival and the Aguilar Film Festival, among others. DE PERFIL has also been selected for international festivals such as Interfilm Berlin and FilmFest Dresden.

In the field of theatre, he has premiered the following plays as director and playwright: ‘Viande Rouge’, ‘La Piel en llamas’ by Guillem Clua, ‘Fedra's Downfall’ and ‘Simon Says’.

In 2021, together with Eva Saiz, he began writing the feature film ‘CASA DE FIERAS’, a project that was part of the IV edition of La Incubadora (The Screen ECAM), now in the process of being financed.
