Sergi Rubió’s zodiac sign is Aquarius. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Sergi Rubió was born in the Year of the Horse. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Horse love to roam free. They’re energetic, self-reliant, money-wise, and they enjoy traveling, love and intimacy. They’re great at seducing, sharp-witted, impatient and sometimes seen as a drifter. Compatible with Dog or Tiger.
He has an extensive filmography dating back to 1993, also as a Producer and Screenplay writer for all of the projects he has directed, in conjunction with his film studies in both New York and Barcelona.
In 1996, at the age of 18, he directed his first feature-length film, Torrella, una vida pel cinema (1997), a biographical documentary on the life of Catalan writer Josep Torrella.In 2000, Rubió began his studies at the Micro Obert film school in Barcelona.
As his first-year final project, he completed what became his first critical success, his Short Mohamed (2001), which was selected to compete in various International Film Festivals, and which won him, along with other awards, a Scholarship to further his studies at the New York Film Academy.
In 2005, Rubió continued his film studies at ESCAC (Cinema and Audiovisual School of Catalunya) while simultaneously directing his personal projects.It was during his formative years at the ESCAC, specifically over the course of 2008, that brought about a new string of successes for Rubió.
His Short Silenci (2007) won the 2008 Golden Coconut for Best Short Film, at the Miami Underground Film Festival. In August of that same year, the well-known director Allison Anders, whom Rubió had simply maintained a friendly online correspondence with, selected another of his recent Shorts, Madison Class of '64 (2006), to be released at the Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles, California, as part of the Don't Knock the Rock Film and Music Festival, which Anders herself presides.
In 2009, Rubió began a phase in his professional career in which he worked two jobs to make ends meet. Both jobs remained well within the audiovisual sector, the first one as a teacher and the second as an on-set electrician; a job which would take him to more than a few different movie sets, always in the hope of getting paid on time.
The job as a teacher was to be the source of his first real paycheck and continuous career choice he periodically returns to while nurturing his ultimate goals in the industry such as creating and participating in new projects as a Producer, a Screenwriter and as a Director; as evidenced by two projects in particular titled Both a friend and a reason to smile (2011) and Més enllà del riu (2012).
Often uses diagetic music (ie, source of music is visible on-screen)
Frequently references the work of John Hughes
His lead characters are often lonely women.
His movies are "cut" to the music. (Edited to the music)
Frequently uses Italian songs by Rita Pavone, Mina or Gigliola Cinquetti.
As a professional often working on his own, Sergi Rubió produces his own projects, outside of the various schools and film academies where he was a student more than 25 years ago. These personal projects are all labeled 'Tropicano Films', a title which will one day become synonymous with his very own production company.
His body of work is often created with melodrama as its' backdrop, filled with visual portraits of environment and moods, almost always without following the accepted classic structure of a script by elaborating and then assembling brief sequences like pieces to a handmade puzzle inside of which impossible romances, farewells and open endings have all proven to be recurring themes in the various works of this filmmaker. The parallel phase of his career as a filmmaker reflects his work creating documentaries. Starting off with a simple interview, each project quickly becomes a catalyst for an explosion of seemingly unconnected ideas. Only during production and later during post-production do they slowly find their place in the form of a script.
With a filmography dating back to 1993, at a mere 15 years of age during the height of his adolescence, and having grown up as avid fan of the movie genre, his Super 8 camera has always been his mode of expression, like a pair of prescription lenses allowing him to see the world and, without question, a means to share and express it all. In an era of analog format for video, Sergi always chose to shoot in celluloid, a choice he continues to defend to this day with the arrival of digital film.
Strong sense of location in wherever his stories are set.
