Biography

Migel Faus (Barselona, 1992) je scenarista, reditelj i producent.

Diplomirao je sa priznanjima na studijama na London Film School, gde je režirao kratke filmove Smrt Don Kihota (nagrada Meliès d’Argent na 51. Internacionalnom Sitges film festivalu) i Calladita, koji je bio selektovan na Malaga film festivalu i festivalu Palm Springs International Shortfest, a HBO Max je stekao prava za striming filma u SAD.

Godine 2023. prikazuje svoj debitantski dugometražni film Calladita, koji adaptira njegov kratki film istog naziva i koji je prvi evropski film ikada finansiran putem NFT-ova (tokena), nakon pionirske crowdfunding kampanje koju je Faus sam kreirao.

Na Sundance festivalu 2023, Calladita je dobila nagradu od 100.000 dolara u vidu priznanja Finishing Funds, koju je finansirao i uručio Stiven Soderberg. Godine 2021. izabran je od strane portala Variety kao jedan od 10 španskih reditelja koje treba pratiti.

Miguel Faus (Barcelona, 1992) is a screenwriter, director, and producer.

He graduated with honors from the London Film School, where he directed several short films, including The Death of Don Quixote (winner of the Méliès d’Argent at the 51st Sitges International Film Festival) and Calladita, which was selected for the Málaga Film Festival and the Palm Springs International ShortFest. The streaming rights for Calladita were acquired by HBO Max for the U.S. market.

In 2023, Faus premiered his debut feature film Calladita, an adaptation of his short of the same name. It became the first European film ever funded through NFTs, following a pioneering crowdfunding campaign initiated by the director himself.

At the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, Calladita was awarded a $100,000 Finishing Funds grant, funded and personally presented by Steven Soderbergh. In 2021, Variety named him one of the "10 Spanish Directors to Watch."
