PABLO SAURA
I’m a Spanish and British writer, director and occasional performer from London, UK.
The youngest of two, I was born in Cartagena, Spain to Spanish parents.
Since I was a child, I would spend my time writing and drawing comics, and daydreaming about same-sex crushes — two very particular interests that no one else in my family seemed to share. So, at seventeen, I embarked on a quest to find my kind and ended up in London.
When I first moved to London I had no idea what I was getting into and I didn’t even speak the language. After a decade living here, this is where I find myself most at home. My roots are always with me and I still like to write and perform in both English and Spanish.
Unsurprisingly, some of my favourite things to write about are family, queers and immigrants.
My film This Is Britain won the Video Innovation Award (Prix D’Innovation) at the 2015 Eurovideo Film Awards in Liege.
After graduating from the London Film School I wrote and directed my narrative directorial debut, Love Lost, which premiered at the BIFA-qualifying 2024 Brighton Rocks International Film Festival to glowing reviews and was later nominated for Best Drama, Best Actor, and Best Cinematography at the 2024 Greenwich Film Festival.
