Juan Pablo’s the kind of guy who lives and breathes cinema. He’s not just another name on a production credit—he’s a partner and producer at Proyección Films and Jaguar Bite, which, honestly, are pretty big deals if you’re into Latin American film. His work? Yeah, it’s collected trophies from film festivals all over the globe and landed on platforms like HBO, Netflix, Amazon, even Fox. Not bad for a guy who started out with a filmmaking degree from Argentina’s Universidad del Cine and then leveled up with a Master’s from the University of Warwick in England. Through Jaguar Bite, Juan Pablo’s the go-to for international productions shooting in Colombia—think big-budget movies and TV series that need someone local who actually knows what they’re doing. When Hollywood comes calling, he’s the one picking up the phone. And it’s not just about making movies for him. He’s worked with the Colombian Ministry of Culture and Proimágenes Colombia, trying to boost the local industry and get more stories out there. There’s a real passion behind everything he touches. Whether he’s hustling to get a film made, helping shape the future of Colombian cinema, or just making sure scripts don’t get lost in translation, Juan Pablo’s fingerprints are everywhere. He’s that rare mix of business savvy and creative drive, the kind of producer who makes things happen—on set, behind the scenes, and all over the world.
Fun little nugget for you: Juan Pablo’s mom, Ada Vergara de Solano, actually shows up in his movie Speechless. No joke, she’s not just in the credits for moral support—she’s right there on screen, acting her heart out. It’s not every day you see a director pull his own mom into the mix, but hey, sometimes family just brings the vibe you need. Ada’s got this natural presence that makes her scenes pop, like she’s been in the business forever. The chemistry between Juan Pablo and his mom? Totally authentic—how could it not be? You can tell there’s real history there, and it gives the movie this extra layer of warmth that hits different. Kind of wild to think about, but it works. People love spotting her and knowing the backstory. Seriously, it’s a cool bit of trivia that just adds to the film’s charm.
