Juanma Bajo Ulloa
Juan Manuel Bajo Ulloa (born 1 January 1967) is a Spanish film director. Biography Juanma Bajo Ulloa was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava, on 1 January 1967. His parents mortgaged their house to fund Bajo Ulloa's film beginnings. His first feature film ''Alas de Mariposa'' (1991) earned the Golden Shell at the San Sebastián Film Festival. 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''). Since 1994 he has directed and produced music videos for Joaquín Sabina, Los Enemigos, and Barricada, and others.
