Bio
Ana González Ortega
I worked with Nacho in Lightbox Entertainment for two years and it was such a pleasure. His total control of light, his sensitivity to colors and moods and his learning skills make him a great artist to work with. On the other hand, he performed his supervisor role in an exemplary way, always keeping in mind the production and creative needs and delivering on time. He was a great link between Production and Art departments, very reasonable, open to dialogue and always willing to improve. Nacho is a calm and joyful person, assets that are essential when dealing with stressful situations, keeping his team motivated. He is one of these artists you always want in your team. I am sure he will achieve great things in his career and I would love to work with him again in the future!

Nacho's role in our latest movie was pivotal. I can say without a doubt that he's one the team members whose work had a biggest impact in the quality of the film. From day zero he set his mind to have cohesive and poignant color script for the whole movie as well as digging deep in the reasons for the color choices of every scene. His dedication, constant proactivity, attention to detail and vast knowledge of art, aesthetics and visual narrative makes him an invaluable asset. I'm eager to work with Nacho soon again.
