Gerard Oms began his film career with Isabel Coixet. He is a regular collaborator with Neus Ballús and an acting coach for actors such as Mario Casas, Bárbara Lennie or Leonardo Sbaraglia, among others. He trained at the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona and the Parnassos School in Utrecht (Netherlands).
Inefable was his first short film as director and screenwriter. The magazine Caimán Ediciones included it among one of the best Spanish short films of 2021. His second short film, Has estado, hace tiempo, competed at Seminci 2022.
In 2020, he began developing his first feature film, Molt lluny (Zo Ver Weg), which was selected by ICAA as one of the 10 Spanish projects in development at the Marché du Film. The film is supported by the MEDIA Europe program, ICAA, ICEC, and includes participation from RTVE (public Spanish television), TV3 (public Catalan television), and the NL Film Fonds. The project was part of the EAVE Producers Workshop, with Carles Torras as producer. The film is going to premiere in the official competition section at the upcoming Málaga Film Festival in Spain.
The screening of Molt lluny (Muy Lejos / Zo Ver Weg) will be followed by an Industry Panel where co-production between Spain and the Netherlands are discussed. Director Gerard Oms and some cast members will be present.
