Víctor Garcia is a Catalan director born in Barcelona in 1974. He studied directing at the Centre d'Estudis Cinematogràfics de Catalunya (CECC). He began his career in the film industry in the special effects departments of films such as “Talk to Her” (Pedro Almodóvar, 2002), “Hellboy” (Guillermo del Toro, 2004), and “Romasanta: The Werewolf Hunt” (Paco Plaza, 2004). After this first stage, he directed the successful short film “The Cycle” (2003) and launched his directing career directly in the United States with sequels to genre films such as “Return to House on Haunted Hill” (2007) and “Mirrors 2” (2010). He went on to direct four more projects there, and in 2013 helmed the feature “Gallows Hill,” selected for the Official Section at the Sitges Film Festival, before returning to Spain to direct the second unit on “Mindscape” (Jorge Dorado).
He also worked as second unit director on Netflix’s original feature “Bird Box: Barcelona” (The Pastor Siblings, 2023) and became the right-hand man to Oriol Paulo, collaborating with him as second unit director on the Netflix series “The Innocent” (2021) and “The Last Night at Tremore Beach” (2024), which ranked in the platform’s global Top 10 during its first two weeks after release.
In 2022, García directed “The Communion Girl” for Warner Bros Spain, which grossed €1,440,754 at the Spanish box office and was a hit across Latin America.
He is currently working as second unit director on “Apocalypse Z 2,” the sequel to “Apocalypse,” one of Amazon MGM’s most successful films of last year.
