Introduce Yourself : Creativity against crisis. Juan Testa. by Juan Ramón Testa Nogueira

Hi all, I am director of TV series, film and tv writer, musician, photographer, since I worked 90-2011 continuously. But the political / economic disaster came to Spain and the EU, low audiovisual industry in my country has disappeared almost completely, and do not fully adapt to the European market and the American Latino. The Spanish media companies are also unable to adapt to new forms of audiovisual consumption via cable or internet. So try to overcome this disaster with what sienpre've exercised, creativity, creativity and more creativity. Still, it's like giving a wall with his head so I try to get out of continental Europe and try to move to UK or America. If anyone wants to contact me I will be happy to participate in any professional initiative. From my CV you will see that I have worked in TV for more than 21 years. The last 12 years were spent working as Director of the successful Spanish TV series "Hospital Central" which won the winner of the "Hondas" prize and the "TP de Oro". I have also directed "Homicidios", a series starring by Eduardo Noriega, which is currently being broadcast on Canal+ France. As I said before my extensive career in Spain has been disrupted by the present severe economic crisis I have made use of the time by instigating a possible transition to the medium of cinema. Consequently, I am in the process of writing two movie screenplays in addition to developing a number of projects for television in the genres of conventional series and general entertainment. But I think that I already have enough experience to qualify for other levels of our profession, as Executive Producer. I consider myself an ambitious and artistically restless person in several creative fields being an active musician in addition to being a Director. My directorial work is characterised by passionate interaction with actors. I love inspiring the teamwork essential for success and I believe that professionally I have always been characterised by the confident and creative relationships I have built with my teams. I believe that by employing a first-class professional approach there is no limit to the successes one can achieve and great movies will be the result. Best wishes, Juan Testa
