A graduate of UCLA, writer, director and producer Juan Camilo Pinzón has produced countless award-winning television programs, commercials, documentaries and music videos. In fraganti is his first film. “I saw a more mature story, less rooted in quick jokes and aimed more at dark humor and satire, characters that were more developed, while still bearing the characteristic mark of its production company,” stated the director when asked to speak in an interview about the challenges involved in making the film.
Pinzon has directed spots for Air California, Tianguis, La Favorita Bakery, United Nations, Pirelli, Repsol, Visa, Colombian Office of the President, Ministry of Public Health, Dell, UBS (Swiss Bankers Union), Club Deportivo Los Millonarios and Avianca and directed advertising campaigns such as “Mi cuerpo es territorio seguro” and “En todo tu derecho” for the United Nations Population Fund, to name only a few.
