DANIEL SANCHEZ AREVALO
Daniel Sánchez Arévalo is a screenwriter and director born on the soils of Santander, Spain in 1970. He has been a professional scriptwriter since 1993, working on a number of national Spanish television series. It was twelve years later, as scholarship recipient, that he went to study a Masters in film at Columbia University in New York, and commenced his career as a director. He exclaims, however, “I became a director because I couldn’t find anybody else to direct my scripts, so I see myself as a screen writer first”. He made fifteen short films that managed to grab the attention, either through nomination or through wins, of more than two hundred awards, including a nomination for the Goya Awards and an Oscars preselection. His debut as a feature filmmaker was realized with the film DarkBlueAlmostBlack (AzulOscuroCasiNegro), which was the winner of more than fifty awards throughout a number of the world’s film festivals. Dark Blue Almost Black was the Opening Night Film at La Mirada Film Festival in 2007. In 2009, Arévalo released his second feature film Fat People (Gordos), which is to be screened at La Mirada Film Festival 2010.
