“What you have to do is to get into the heart. And how do you get into the heart?
With stories.”
Dr. Jane Goodall
Stories are everything - whether you’re a purpose-driven brand, a nonprofit or grassroots organisation, or an artist or maker, I will help you tell it. With 15+ years of experience producing short-form documentaries and brand videos, my work is designed to reveal the heart of your work and connect with your target audience through cinematic imagery and emotionally-driven narratives.
Stories don’t just tell - they transform. Let’s tell yours!
WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH

YOUTUBE READY:
As the biggest video platform in the world, my videos can be made to fit into YouTube’s competitive platform, bringing a specific editing style and visual aesthetic to the project.

From concept ideation and direction to cinematography, editing and colour grading, my skill set can cover every step of the creative process. For projects that require a wider scope, I use a reliable network of fellow creatives, allowing productions to scale easily to satisfy any demand.
ADAPTABILITY:
I've worked with a variety of budgets and can tailor the project's scope to fit within them.

About me
I’m Pako Quijada — a filmmaker, photographer, and visual artist based between Berlin and Barcelona.
With over 15 years of experience, I’ve collaborated with clients such as Ecosia, Auto 1 Group, KiWi Verlag, Gestalten, and National Geographic.
My true passion lies in storytelling and exploring its many possibilities. As a writer and director, I have created artistic projects that blur the line between video art, experimental and narrative cinema. I also work supporting other independent artists by creating full productions for contemporary art projects, dancers and choreographers and recording artists.
My first documentary as writer and director was produced by Televisió de Catalunya and aired repeatedly on their network since its production in 2011. Between 2019 and 2023, I worked at Ecosia, the world’s leading green search engine, creating short documentaries and directing awareness and conversion campaigns — including a 2022 TV commercial that became a finalist at the Sky Zero Footprint Fund in the UK.
Since late 2023, I’ve been working as a freelance filmmaker and photographer, combining commercial projects with personal artistic work.
As a visual artist, my practice explores identity, memory, and the human connection to nature — themes that have led my work to exhibitions and festivals across Spain, Germany, the UK, the US, and Mexico.
Sustainability and diversity are central to my approach to filmmaking, both on set and in storytelling, as well as a commitment to help diversify the filmmaking space both in front and behind the camera.
In 2023, I also launched my own YouTube channel, where I share music documentaries and vinyl unboxings — a passion project that merges my love of music and filmmaking.
What my clients say…
-
It was a pleasure collaborating with Pako on a film project for our first Atlantic Labs and FoodLabs portfolio day and then again for our SuperVenture opening night. Telling stories across two diverse portfolios is challenging, but Pako provided a clear framework and executed with exceptional attention to detail. He worked seamlessly with our designer/animator and curated music that resonated with our Partners' taste. Beyond his technical skills, Pako understands cinema as an art form and brings creativity, depth and a human touch to every project. He's responsive to feedback and willing to iterate to maximize stakeholder buy-in. I'd fully recommend him to anyone creating a brand film - whether in VC, tech or any industry.

Working with Pako was a great experience. As a freelance video editor supporting our AUTO1 Group Postproduction Studio on major TVCs and YouTube campaigns, he quickly proved himself an exceptional storyteller with a natural sense for rhythm and flow. Pako integrates seamlessly into complex postproduction workflows, works fast without ever compromising on detail, and brings strong colour expertise to every project. Reliable, skilled, and creatively sharp - he’s a real asset to any production team.

Working with Pako was really great. He immediately understood the vision for our investor demo video and turned it into a high-quality and engaging product in no time, which captured the vision of our portfolio companies. Highly recommended for anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality storytelling with quick feedback loops and productive iterations.
