Juanma Carrillo has created ads for international brands and clients such as the Community of Madrid and the FIRE!! cinema festival in Barcelona. However, it’s in music videos that he finds the freedom he seeks to convey everything that inspires him. Good examples of this include the trilogy of video clips Premeditación, Nocturnidad y Alevosía that he directed for La Bien Querida and Ataraxia, which he directed for La Casa Azul.
