He started to make stop motion animation films by borrowing a camera from his older brother who is a professional photographer and an enormous influence in Perez’s life.

Whilst in Drama School, he founded Gestus, where he began directing and producing on the stage with plays including El Tendedero, Versus and The Zanni Comedy, which he co-produced with Commedia dell'arte director Antonio Fava.

Following his graduation from Escape, Perez worked on several projects for broadcast, such as the Gorillaz music video "Stylo" before he went to the recently opened studio Union VFX, where he was the first artist to start in his studio and began working on the Fox Searchlight film 127 Hours directed by Danny Boyle as both digital compositor and technical director.

“I wanted to take this technology at its maximum expression in terms of narrative to tell the story of ECHO, and the team at Stiller Studios accepted the challenge.

The result is a whole short film shot entirely in just five long takes, with an actress who is synchronised with the camera movements as a hidden musical choreography.

[35] Perez’s directing debut Another Love achieved great acclaim receiving more than 27 nominations and awards at more than 60 films festivals since 2015.

[28] He is also a Member and collaborator of Nukepedia, an online community for NUKE compositors, where he publishes articles, tools and Python programming scripts for artists.
