About

Hi, I’m Ricardo Barby, a director, editor, and camera operator with over 15 years of experience in film and documentary. I began in the art departments of production companies like Green Moon, La Claqueta, and Maestranza Films, where I learned the ins and outs of crafting visuals and atmospheres. Over time I moved into documentary storytelling, directing and editing projects that capture real lives and vibrant moments.

Throughout my career I’ve written, produced, and directed my own documentaries, often in co-production with Canal Sur. I’ve also collaborated with Netflix, Movistar+, NBA Europe, Football Co., and Copa 90, bringing audiences authentic stories with a strong visual voice. I love developing projects independently and guiding them from idea to final cut, always aiming for clear storytelling and compelling images.
