A writer finds another voice on screen
The actor and author plays Carlos in LA BOLA NEGRA.
Milo Quifes is a Spanish writer and actor from Palos de la Frontera in Huelva. Before appearing on screen, he had already found an audience for his writing, including the young-adult novel Ultravioleta.
Quifes studied biology in Granada before leaving the course. A friend later sent him an open casting call; he described attending several auditions before being offered a role in LA BOLA NEGRA, despite having no professional screen experience.
In the film by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, he plays Carlos, a young man seeking acceptance in Granada in 1932. The story takes its character’s name from Federico García Lorca’s unfinished play, which helped inspire the film.
Quifes has described writing and acting as different ways to express himself. His film debut adds a new medium to a creative path that began with words.
