Ignacio Rodó

Ignacio Rodó, born smack in the middle of December 1986, hails from Terrassa, a sun-soaked spot near Barcelona that’s got way more character than most people know. He’s one of those rare directors who manages to keep folks guessing with every project—never quite sticking to the same mood, which, let’s be real, is a refreshing change from the cookie-cutter stuff floating around. Rodó first caught serious attention with “Tuck Me In” back in 2014. It’s a short film, but man, does it pack a punch. Just a few minutes long and you’ll probably second-guess turning off the lights before bed. He’s got a knack for making you uneasy with the smallest details—like a whisper, or a glance, or something not quite right at the edge of the frame. Then there’s “Bonsai” (2017), which is a whole different flavor. It’s quieter, but don’t let that fool you. Rodó has this way of making every moment feel loaded, like there’s a secret blooming underneath all the silence. He doesn’t spoon-feed the audience; you’ve gotta work for it a bit, and honestly, that’s part of the fun. “Indigo” (also 2017) just adds another layer to his style—mixing in psychological twists and a kind of hazy, dreamy vibe that sticks with you long after the credits roll. He’s not just a director either; Rodó’s been behind the scenes as a producer, pulling strings and shaping stories from every angle. Basically, if you’re into films that don’t play by the rules and leave you thinking, Rodó’s your guy.
