Daniel Abrego

Daniel Abrego’s filmography is kinda wild, honestly. You’ve got The Dad Quest (2025), which spins this weird, heartfelt story about a single dad stumbling through the chaos of parenting. It’s not your typical “feel-good” movie; it’s messy and awkward, but that’s what makes it hit home. Abrego doesn’t sugarcoat anything—he dives right into those cringe-worthy moments, the stuff most parents would pretend never happened. If you’ve ever been embarrassed by your own dad (so, basically everyone), you’ll get a kick out of it. Switch gears to Na Savi (2023), and you’re in for something totally different. This one’s set in a rural village, diving deep into family traditions and the push-pull between old and new. There’s this tension that simmers through every scene—kids wanting to break free, parents clinging to what they know. Abrego’s knack for showing the tiny details, like a worn-out kitchen table or a sideways glance between sisters, makes it feel super real. He’s not afraid to linger on the uncomfortable bits, either. You kinda end up rooting for everyone, even when they’re at each other’s throats. Then there’s La partitura secreta (2024), which, no joke, blends mystery and music in a way that’s almost hypnotic. A lost sheet of music, a family secret, and a bunch of unresolved drama come together in this slow-burn puzzle. The soundtrack? Absolute banger. Abrego pulls you in with moody lighting and these lingering shots that stick in your head long after the credits roll. Each film’s got its own vibe, but he always finds that sweet spot between chaos and beauty.
