Biography
Santi Suárez, born in Reus, has a degree in Journalism and Sociology, as well as a higher degree in Audiovisual Communication and Demography. From a young age, he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up: either a tap dancer or a film director. Even though he tried, he soon realized that tap was not his thing. Instead, he realized that he was much better at film and television, so he became a screenwriter, producer and director.
He began his career in the audiovisual sector more than 30 years ago. He remembers with special affection “Una Altra Cosa (Something Else)”, a comedy show that he helped develop during his time at the production company EL TERRAT. His latest projects have been “La Innocència (The Innocence)” (2019, Lucía Alemany), “Nosotros No Nos Mataremos Con Pistolas (We Will Not Kill Each Other with Guns)” (2022, Maria Ripoll) and the documentary series “La Pell dels Murs” (2022, TV3).
Currently, in addition to being responsible for content at UN CAPRICHO DE PRODUCCIONES, he also teaches at the Universitat Autònoma of Barcelona and occasionally works on projects from other producers and television companies. In addition, he is developing a documentary feature film, “In Memoriam Biel”, about the poet and intellectual Gabriel Ferrater, as well as a fiction feature film titled, “The Summer of Love”, centered around the figure of Fernande Olivier, Pablo Picasso’s companion.
Santi has received several awards throughout his artistic career, among them: a National Award for Communication of Proximity (Canal Reus TV), an Award from the TV Academy for Best Autonomous Entertainment Program (“Una Altra Cosa [Something Else]”, TV3) and an Ondas award for Best Program Entertainment (“Buenafuente”, Antena3).
