Joaquin Sanchez, a talented actor and producer, emerged onto the scene in Barcelona, Spain, with a career spanning numerous short films, television shows, and theater productions.
His early career took off with short films such as Te voy a matar (2000) and the award-winning Maricón (2005),as well as television shows like El cor de la ciutat (2000) and Majoria absoluta (2002). He also appeared in TV films like Libro de familia (2005) and Viaje Vertical (2008),and took to the stage in productions like "Peter and the Captain or the opposite" based on Mario Benedetti's book, "Life of Galileo Galilei" by Bertolt Brecht, and "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett.
In 2012, Sanchez received the Best Actor Award at the XVIII Iberian Film Festival in Badajoz for his starring role in the short film El Chola (2011),directed by Guillermo Rios. Back in his native Tenerife, he appeared in feature films such as El clan (2012),directed by Jaime Falero, and "See you in Montevideo", directed by Dragan Bjelogric.
In 2013, Sanchez took on a new challenge, producing his first Spanish action film, Bunker: Project 12 (2016),which was financed entirely with private capital. Shot in English, with a local crew and international cast, the film starred James Cosmo, Timothy Gibbs, Natasha Alam, Eric Roberts, and Sanchez himself.
Thanks to his work on Bunker: Project 12, Sanchez made history as the first Canarian film with international distribution, and his efforts helped establish the Canary Islands, and specifically Tenerife, as a haven for the film industry. The islands have since become a popular location for big-budget productions, including Hollywood blockbusters like Fast & Furious 6 (2013),In the Heart of the Sea (2015),Clash of the Titans (2010),Wrath of the Titans (2012),and Jason Bourne (2016).
Today, Joaquin Sanchez splits his time between Los Ángeles and Spain, continuing to make a name for himself in the world of film and television.
