Biography

Ignacio Vigalondo Palacios (born 6 April 1977), better known as Nacho Vigalondo, is a Spanish filmmaker.

Vigalondo's first film was the 2003 Spanish-language short film 7:35 in the Morning, about a suicide bomber who terrorizes a cafe, which was only eight minutes long. The film won significant accolades: it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Film, got another Best Short Film Award nomination at the European Film Awards, and received the Bronze Moon of Valencia at the Cinema Jove – Valencia International Film Festival, and the Prix UIP Drama at the Drama Short Film Festival.

He finished his first full length feature film, Los Cronocrímenes (English title: Timecrimes), in 2007, in which he also co-starred.

Vigalondo's next film was the 2011 Spanish-language alien invasion film Extraterrestre.

In 2011, it was reported that Vigalondo was recruited to direct a film adaptation of Mark Millar's Supercrooks.

From 2012 to 2014 he wrote and directed a segment in three different anthology horror films: The ABCs of Death, The Profane Exhibit, and VHS: Viral. In 2014 he also released Open Windows, a techno-thriller film that marked his English-language debut.

Vigalondo's most recent film is Colossal, which he wrote and directed. The film is a twist on the Kaiju genre and an homage to the Godzilla franchise. Before starting production on Colossal, Vigalondo described his plan as to make a serious film with "old school" practical effects on a low budget Vigalondo's latest directorial effort is the Hulu original film Pooka, released December 2018 in the Into the Dark series.

Biography

Ignacio Vigalondo Palacios (Cabezón de la Sal, 6 de abril de 1977), más conocido como Nacho Vigalondo, es un director español de cine. Vigalondo, natural de la localidad cántabra de Cabezón de la Sal, inició estudios de Comunicación Audiovisual en la Universidad del País Vasco. No tardó, sin embargo, en abandonar los estudios en busca de una formación más práctica y personal. Su natural talento para la comedia hizo el resto. Guionista de cortometrajes y actor de anuncios y programas televisivos varios, Nacho rozó la gloria el día en que su tercer cortometraje como director, 7:35 de la mañana, fue nominado al Oscar de la categoría en 2004. Vigalondo siguió vinculado al mundo de la televisión trabajando como guionista en espacios como Gran Hermano o Agitación + IVA, además de continuar rodando cortos tan sugerentes como Domingo, Choque, Cháchara o Cambiar el mundo. En 2007 estrenó su primer largometraje, Los cronocrímenes, exhibido con gran éxito en el Festival de Sundance y convertido de forma automática en una cinta de culto. Su segundo filme, Extraterrestre, es una inusual comedia romántica con invasión alienígena de por medio protagonizada por Julián Villagrán, Michelle Jenner y Raúl Cimas. Su siguiente trabajo, el thriller Open Windows, reescribía el cine de Alfred Hitchcock y, a la vez, hacía un ensayo sobre el estatuto actual del audiovisual. Esta cinta serviría para abrirle las puertas de Hollywood, donde poco a poco se hace un hueco. Una muestra de esto es su film Colossal, reformulación del género de monstruos gigantes con Anne Hathaway y Jason Sudeikis.
