Director of "Ray´s Real Dream".
"Working with Manuel Cervera on ‘Ray’s Real Dream’ was one of the most fulfilling parts of the filmmaking journey. From the very first cut, he instinctively knew what the story needed emotionally, tonally, and rhythmically. Manuel brought depth and cohesion to the project. Every musical cue felt purposeful and connected to the visuals. His score didn’t just sit under the scenes; it carried them, elevated them, and, at times, became a character of its own. I’m honestly amazed by how effortlessly he understood the heart of the film and gave it a soul through music. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat."
