José Luis Ugarte

I have been working as a professional filmmaker, video editor and producer for over 15 years. I work seamlessly in English and Spanish, from directing a shoot and conducting interviews to translating and subtitling the final cut.

I move comfortably between factual, journalistic and artistic projects, in a team or on my own. I have extensive experience working with broadcast and live events, editorial and documentary-style projects as well as punchy social media content. I have worked with internationally established brands and independent artists alike.

My core strength is my artistic approach: I enjoy delving into a subject fully and bringing myself into it to create authentic and delicate stories. Collaboration is at the centre of what I do. Whether I’m working with seasoned producers or first-time clients who need some guidance, I adapt to what the project needs.
