"I believe Juan Camilo's work is truly unique. The clarity with which he builds his body of work is a delight to witness—both in the creation of the story when he writes, and in the development of characters when he directs. Much like a visual artist shaping and structuring a piece, his deep sensitivity and brilliance allow him to breathe life into each and every one of his characters. His remarkable talent for crafting original and compelling concepts has made him one of the most respected and acclaimed directors in the industry."

His methods go beyond convention and push you to explore places where truth shines—where real connections, relationships, and genuine experiences emerge, all of which are deeply reflected on screen. Juan Camilo has left a lasting mark on my career and on the way I approach acting. I am forever grateful for everything I learned, discovered, and achieved thanks to him. Simply put, a truly great director!”

“Juan Camilo has a deep understanding of comedy. He knows exactly how to get you out of your head, breaking you out of familiar rhythms. He loves to play and always seeks what is real and authentic. He moves away from mechanical patterns, helping you discover your strengths and giving you the confidence to explore them. His sensitivity in uncovering the true meaning behind every scene allows you to gain perspective and opens space for thoughtful discussion and depth. He gives you trust—and when that comes from a director who knows exactly what he wants, it becomes an open, limitless field for creation.”

“Working under Juan Camilo’s direction is a true challenge for any actor. He avoids clichés and instinctively rejects the actor’s first attempts to settle into a comfort zone. Instead, he delves deep into the human nature of his characters, searching for the truth behind their conflicts. He plays with the rhythm of dialogue to infuse fiction with the authenticity of auteur storytelling, which defines his signature style. A true lover of aesthetics at the service of narrative, he frames each shot to ensure that the visual grammar of the story resonates with meaning.”

“55 years of experience as a professional actress allow me to confidently share my thoughts on what I consider the best comedy ever produced by Colombian television: Pecados Capitales. My dream of working with Juan Camilo came true with El Secretario, which won 9 India Catalina Awards out of 10 nominations—an achievement that reflects the director’s remarkable artistic wisdom. I later had the pleasure of working with Juan Camilo again on a film set—yet another opportunity to treasure the brilliance of what I can only describe as a superior mind: Juan Camilo Pinzón.”

“He is an actors’ director—one who deeply studies the relationships between characters and the inner movements of the story, in order to guide his actors toward performances that are emotionally truthful, honest, and consistent. Personally, I feel he knows exactly how to move me, how to lead me to new places by pulling me out of my comfort zone. Working with Juan Camilo is both a challenge and a privilege.”

“He is a creator. A filmmaker of our time. A storyteller who, with imagination, talent, and craft, engages all five senses to recreate reality while crossing the thresholds of the real. He is a director who knows how to guide his actors into his singular creative universe, always with a keen eye for aesthetics. It was a great honor for me to meet him and shape my character under the guidance of this remarkable director—someone who caresses you with the camera and draws you into his artistic world, into the beauty of his vision.”
