Short Films by MASTER CLUSTER
The Final Scene
(La Secuencia Final)
Starring some friends, my brother and I, with no previous experience as actors., the result is an amateur short film, but, in my opinion, very charming. As an homage to B-horror movies, its lack of technical quality should be not only forgiven, but welcomed. On the other hand, he has a unique sense of humor. A very Master Cluster humor, of which I am proud.

Synopsis
Comedy - Horror
Three partners are making a horror movie. The personal ambitions of each of them will turn the film into a disaster, and the situation between them unsustainable, leading to an outcome more terrifying than the film itself.

Russian Lessons
(Clases de Ruso)
When I came up with the idea, everyone told me that it was a very risky project, that it was going to be difficult to find a Russian actress in Madrid and that the story is too subtle. But I decided to go to the death with it. The result is my favorite short film, which in 20 minutes makes us understand the entire life of two lonely beings, mixing drama, romance and terror. RUSSIAN LESSONS had a spectacular international reception, with awards in Spain, the United States, France and Italy.

Quadrilateral
(Cuadrilátero)
QUADRILATERAL it is the story of a disagreement. Four characters in love... with the wrong person. They are anonymous characters, named by a cold voice-over. It could be any of us. Who hasn't made a mistake when choosing their love goals? Starring Mathieu Amalric, Silvia Marsó, Jordi Dauder and Ángeles Maeso, winner of more than twenty national and international awards, this short film is the seed of what will be my first feature film, QUARTET.

Viands
(Las Viandas)
The idea arose while having dinner with my friend Santiago G. Agulló at a restaurant called precisely Las Viandas. It was a feature-film project, but in 2003 I decided to adapt the story into a 20-minute script. The project won the Cinema Jove Project Prix, which meant financing from several television stations. I was also lucky enough to obtain a subsidy from the Ministry of Culture, and that José María Pou, a very important actor in Spain, agreed to participate as the chef. VIANDS was selected in more than 150 festivals and won awards in 10 countries. I consider it a good rehearsal for the future feature film project: THE DINER.

The Planets
(Los Planetas)
Financed with the help of the North American network Showtime Networks, THE PLANETS is an intimate story, starring a couple in crisis, and whose starting point is a traffic accident in which the protagonist is about to die. The last image he remembers before losing consciousness is that of a woman he met years ago. That thought causes chaos in the couple's universe... just as any tiny detail could destroy the balance of the entire Universe.
