In July 2023, he hit the headlines following his retirement from filmmaking. He disclosed this in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Pais.
“I quit filmmaking and directing. I don’t feel like committing two years to a project that barely anyone sees. I put too much passion into it to have these disappointments. It makes me wonder if my filmmaking is bad, and I know it’s not,” he said.
According to reports, the reason for such a decision lies in the non-existent interest in his latest project, The Night Logan Woke Up.
