Pedro Olea

Pedro Olea was born in Bilbao in 1938. He abandoned economics studies for the official film school in Madrid and wrote reviews at that time for the magazine Nuestro Cine; once qualified, he worked for Spanish Television, where he made documentaries. His first feature film, in 1967, received the prize for best first film from the Círculo de Escritores Cinematográficos, and success came to him in 1970, despite censorship, with a film about a nineteenth-century killer who was said to be a werewolf. He then returned to shoot in the Basque Country and received in 1993 the Goya for best adapted screenplay.
