PABLO HERRÁN de VIU

C: 347.981.2908

E:

Was born and raised in the Balearic island of Mallorca, one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean. He spent his childhood listening FANTASTIC STORIES about the ocean and observing thousands of tourists from different cultures visiting his island every season.

Pablo started writing in an early age. Before starting the university he won the Catalan most traditional literature contest "JOCS FLORALS" three years consecutively, which gave him the title of "MESTRE EN GAI SABER", when he was only fifteen years old.

To achieve the Degree of FILMS AND TV, Pablo moved to Barcelona to join the "FACULTAT BLANQUERNA DE LA UNIVERSITAT RAMON LLULL" where he wrote and directed the films "AMARGO" and "LOLA YA NO VUELA". He also created and directed "EL SEPTIMO SUENO", a documentary about the efforts of a recent graduated filmmaker trying to get in the movies industry.

During the four years of university, Pablo participated in an intensive writing course headed by the prestigious Spanish writer MAGDALENA TIRADO. His short story "COME ON, BABY!" was published in the Spanish newspaper "EL MUNDO" and his short story "ADICCION" gave him an ACADEMIC AWARD.

Before the decision to move to the United States, Pablo still found time to work in the Catalan TV channel "TELEVISIO DE L’HOSPITALET" and the producing company "OBERON CINEMATOGRAFICA". Now in New York City, after working in seven short movies at the NEW YORK FILM ACADEMY, Pablo just finished his new short movie: "MISUNDERSTOOD".
