Andrés Ibáñez is a Mexican filmmaker with a bicultural voice forged through years of experience as an assistant director on international productions alongside directors such as Mel Gibson and Martin Campbell. His career has evolved from large-scale productions to more personal stories. His debut feature film, Sacúdete las penas (2018), marked his entry into narrative cinema. Andrés subsequently directed the documentaries A Six-Dollar Cup of Coffee (Prime Video) and Cocino cuando te extraño (ViX+), and produced El Apóstol (ViX+), one of the most watched docuseries on the platform. He is currently developing Fuegos fatuos, a deeply personal and semi-autobiographical coming-of-age film, set in the desert of San Luis Potosí, his hometown. The film explores inherited masculinity, repressed desire and myth through the eyes of a preadolescent boy who has to confront the ghosts of his lineage. With a successful career in the music industry as a director of music videos and a creator of visual identities, Andrés is now consolidating his career in film with intimate and universal stories.
