About

Ale Gómez — black-and-white profile portrait

I'm a 28-year-old creative from Barcelona. I started in cinema: film school, directing shorts, and a year writing a feature in the screenwriting lab at Rodar y Rodar, the production company behind The Orphanage. Along the way I worked as a film programmer at the D'A Film Festival and covered festivals from Venice to San Sebastián.

Photography has run alongside everything since I was a kid: eight years as a photojournalist for a local magazine, then work for clients and brands.

Today I build apps. Working with AI agents gave me something cinema never could: the freedom to take an idea all the way to a finished product. Two of my apps are live on the App Store and more are on the way. My first fashion brand launches this year.

What drives me is where creativity and technology meet. A new world is taking shape, and I want to help build it.
