Lau Quevedo

Lau Quevedo (ˈlaw kəˈβeðu; born February 10, 2005, in Llobera, Catalonia) is a Catalan artist, writer, filmmaker, and co-founder of the production company Pel·lícules Pinxu, alongside Adrià Moreno (ˈaðɾiˈa mɔˈɾe.no) and Mateu Colell (məˈtɛw kuˈleʎ). In addition to filmmaking, Quevedo also paints, writes and writes poetry.

Quevedo began making films at a very young age, using his parents' camera to shoot movies with his brother Guiu Quevedo (ˈɡiw kəˈβeðu), who frequently appeared as an actor. From these early experiments came his first film, Antic Egipte (ˈAncient Egyptˈ), an ambitious period film shot with friends and his brother and edited together with his mother, Marta Ricart (ˈmaɾtə riˈkaɾt). He went on to make films including an adaptation of Josep M. Folch i Torres' Aventures Extraordinàries d'en Massagran (Massagran adventures) and Brisingr, an epic medieval fantasy film named after Christopher Paolini's novel, although completely unrelated to the world of Eragon. Both films are now lost to history.

After years of experimenting with editing and making short films, Quevedo studied the first cours of Philosophy at the University of Barcelona before moving to Lleida to study at ECCIT (Escola Catalana de Cinema i Televisió). There he met Adrià Moreno (ˈaðɾiˈa mɔˈɾe.no) and Mateu Colell (məˈtɛw kuˈleʎ), with whom he founded the film production company Pel·lícules Pinxu.
