Hi, I’m Andrés Pérez-Duarte, a writer and director shaping immersive narratives across games, film, and TV. I’ve built a career working with studios and festivals like iNK Stories, Cannes, Tribeca, and GLAAD, blending strong character-driven storytelling with interactive experiences. My passion lies in creating worlds where players and viewers become active participants in the story. I’m drawn to collaborative, cross-media projects that push the boundaries of narrative, design, and technology. As a writer, creative director, and producer, I mentor teams, shepherd complex concepts from idea to production, and enjoy exploring new formats, from screenplays to immersive VR and game experiences.
