Filmmaker

Adrián Viador was born in Lugo (Galicia, Spain) in 1985. He studied Dramatic Arts at Casa Hamlet Drama School, in A Coruña and has worked as an actor for over 25 years both in cinema, on television and on stage, as in dubbing and voice-over content. He has lived in Madrid since 2005.

His interest in cinema led him to a major in writing and directing, studying with people like Enrique Urbizu, Óliver Laxe, Pedro Loeb and Javier Rodríguez de Fonseca (the latter two at Factoría del Guión School). In 2006, he put himself on the other side of the camera for the first time, as a production assistant in the documentary El País de Nomeacuerdo (by Guille Mealla). Since then, he has combined his work as an actor with his participation in various artistic projects (as assistant director, in production and editing). Among his most recent activities behind the camera, we can find the editing of the feature film Journey to Somewhere (directed by Helena de Llanos) and his first work as a director: Except Death, a contemplative half-length documentary portraying the tradition of pig-slaughter in Galicia.
