My name is Jordi Rovira, I am 36 years old, I live in Sitges (Barcelona) and I have been working for 13 years as a computer scientist in a consultancy.
My true vocation, however, is far from the world of technology. I am a great admirer and follower of cinematographic art and a fan of writing. Motivated by both elements, during the 2003-2004 season I took a year of studies on screenwriting at the Barcelona Screenwriters Workshop.
During that year I hope to have learned the technique and the necessary tools to, at least, try to write scripts feasible to be taken to the screen.
I will briefly detail the series of screenplays I have written since the end of the course at the Screenwriters Workshop:
- ?do film producers dream of electric screenwriters?: a comedy set in the world of cinema.
- Red: developed in the horror genre.
- Sentar cabeza?: comedy about couple relationships.
- El manzano sobre la nieve?: mixture of fantasy, comedy and romanticism.
- El hombre del pene de oro (The man with the golden penis): a wacky comedy disguised as a thriller.
- La bondad de los extraños?: drama with a dose of thriller.
Although I have touched different genres in screenwriting, I feel especially predestined to the comedy genre, where I feel more comfortable.
