He moved to Madrid when he was sixteen. Alone, with neither family nor money but with a very specific goal: to study and make movies. Franco had just closed the National School of Cinema so, since it wasn't possible to learn the language (the form) he decided he decides to study the basis, and starts living. Despite the dictatorship, a rural teen found in the Madrid of the late 60's the city, the culture and the freedom.

"I got used to reality (I assumed it, as one assumes the illness of someone he loves): Madrid is not just luxury and fun, cities have suburbs and pollution, noise and misery, and their greatness resides in those imperfections sometimes ".

After taking up several temporary jobs he gets a "serious" position in Telefonica and earns enough money to buy his first Super 8 camera. The two years he spends working at the Administration department provide his actual training.

"I grew up, suffered, gained weight and developed myself in Madrid. And I underwent many of these changes in time with the city. My life and films are bound to Madrid, like the heads and tails of the same coin ".

Since early in the morning he's in touch with a social class he couldn't have known better any other way; the Spanish middle class in the beginning of the consumer age with all its drama and misery -a hell of a vein for a future narrator.
But he's not satisfied just with living these years, and he shares his administration position with other occupations:

In the late seventies he writes comic scripts, contributes to underground magazines like "Star", "Vibora" and "Vibraciones" with stories and opinions. In 1972 he begins the non-stop shooting of his first Super-8 shorts and takes them from Madrid to Barcelona.

"I began succeeding as a Super-8 filmmaker but I also experienced the rejection from the genuinely modern for the first time. Ever since those early moments I start feeling isolated by the groups I belong by nature to".

His shorts, without sound (he would dub them himself in time with the projection), become his school for filmmaking. He combines his early approach to cinema with his literature projects. Among other things, he publishes a short novel ("Fuego en las entrañas"), porn photo-novels like "Toda Tuya" several press contributions: El Pais, Diario 16, La Luna... Patty Diphusa (Flabber Gasted) was created for this last -her memories are published periodically and have been compared to Lorelei's, by Anita Loos.

"The moment I grab my Super-8 camera, my first intention is that of the fable writer or storyteller ".
