Juan Manuel Bajo Ulloa (born 1 January 1967) is a Spanish film director.
Juanma Bajo Ulloa was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava, on 1 January 1967. [1] His parents mortgaged their house to fund Bajo Ulloa's film beginnings. [2] His first feature film Alas de Mariposa (1991) earned the Golden Shell at the San Sebastián Film Festival. [3] With the money earned with that movie he produced his second one, La Madre Muerta , which is a good example of his baroque style, combining a perfect technique with the atmosphere of an almost sinister fairy tale. His third movie, Airbag (1997), was a huge box office success, becoming the highest grossing film in the history of Spanish cinema (the record was beaten however a year later by Torrente, el brazo tonto de la ley ). [4]
Since 1994 he has directed and produced music videos for Joaquín Sabina, Los Enemigos, and Barricada, and others.
