Domingo González

Domingo González, born in 1965 in Cáceres, Spain, kind of carved out his own space in the film world—though you’re not gonna see his face on posters or hear his name dropped in mainstream interviews all the time. Editing, honestly, is one of those jobs people outside the industry barely notice, but the folks who know, know. González? He’s one of the go-to editors on the Spanish scene, quietly tightening up storylines and smoothing over awkward transitions while everyone else is busy obsessing over actors. Take “My Fault” (2023). That film’s all tense energy and sharp pacing, and you can bet González had his fingerprints all over those cuts. The drama just clips along—no wasted moments, nothing dragging. It’s the same with “Your Fault” (2024), where the editing keeps the emotional punch front and center, never letting the story lose steam or wander off into melodrama. Not flashy, but man, effective. And then there’s “El Bar” (2017), a totally different beast. It’s chaotic, claustrophobic, and honestly, the editing is what keeps that whole thing from spiraling out of control. González wrangles the madness, making sure every little detail hits at just the right moment. People always talk about the director’s vision, but without an editor like González, half the intensity would just fizzle. He’s one of those behind-the-scenes legends—doesn’t chase the spotlight but absolutely deserves the respect. If you’re into Spanish cinema, you’ve probably felt his work, even if you didn’t realize it.
