Rodrigo Moreno (b. 1972, Buenos Aires) studied film direction at the Universidad del Cine and, from 1996, he also taught screenwriting and direction at the same university. His first short film as a writer-director was Us (Nosotros, 1993). In 1998 he wrote and directed Companions (Companeros), the last episode from the collection of film stories Bad Times (Mala época), which won awards at various festivals. In 2002 wrote, produced and co-directed the film Rest (El descanso), which won Best Film at the Bilbao festival and was screened in Berlin that same year. El custodio (2006) is Moreno's first independent feature film, which won him the SUNDANCE/NHK award for Best Latin-American Screenplay in 2005 and the Alfred Bauer Award at the Berlin IFF in 2006.
