Director's comment
With the feature film MOTHER, I was interested in moving away from the thriller aspects of the short film to explore the intimate story of a mother, years after she has lost her son. Living with her grief and struggling to emerge from the dark tunnel into which she was plunged. What would happen if Elena encountered a teenager who reminded her strongly of her son? She knows it isn’t him. But she wants to be with him and know him. MOTHER is a love story. A special love, that of a mother for her son throughout time. A mother who was not been able to say goodbye to her son and who is now ready to do so. It is also a journey from darkness to light. From death to life. From guilt to forgiveness. From fear to love.Biography

In 2011, along with three partners, he set up Caballo Films and they produced the film STOCKHOLM with a script by Isabel Peña and Sorogoyen He directed the film, which become one of the revelations of the year.

In 2016, he released QUE DIOS NOS PERDONE, a thriller co-written with Isabel Peña and produced by Tornasol and Atresmedia, starring Antonio de la Torre and Roberto Álamo. The film became one of the sensations of the season, earning great reviews and wining the Jury Award for Best Script at the San Sebastian Film Festival and the Goya for Best Actor for Álamo.
