Juan Carlos Aparicio

Juan Carlos Aparicio, born and raised in the bustling heart of Bogotá back in ’82, is the kind of guy who’s always got a story up his sleeve. Dude’s been making waves in the film world, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why. You might’ve caught his name rolling in the credits for “Consuelo” (2024)—the buzz around that one? Wild. People say he’s got a knack for digging into the messy, beautiful parts of life and pulling out something you can’t stop thinking about. He’s not just a one-hit wonder either. “Las Villamizar” (2022) was another notch on his belt—a historical drama that managed to be both punchy and poetic, which, let’s be real, isn’t easy to pull off. Aparicio dives headfirst into Colombia’s tangled history, but he doesn’t sugarcoat stuff. Instead, he leans into the grit and heartache, letting characters breathe and mess up and, sometimes, find a little redemption. And don’t sleep on “Mesa de Regalos” (2025) either. Word is, this one’s about to flip the script on what people expect from a family drama. Aparicio’s got this wild energy behind the camera, mixing tradition with sharp, modern twists. You feel like you’re getting a slice of real life, but with enough edge to keep you glued to the screen. At this rate, it’s honestly a wonder he ever finds time to sleep—guy’s always cooking up something new. Keep an eye out, because Juan Carlos Aparicio isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
