MUNDOS DIGITALES TEAM

Cristina Gómez is the CEO of Powerhouse Hub, with experience across audiovisual production, film festivals, and cultural management. She has held leadership roles including Director of the Audiovisual Cluster of the Balearic Islands, and is currently Production Director and Executive Producer of Atlàntida Mallorca Film Fest, as well as President of Illes Balears Film Festivals and the Pantalla Federation.

Leoš Vojtíšek is the CFO and co-owner of Fantasy Studios, with over 15 years of experience in financial management for film and television production. He has worked on major international projects for studios and platforms including Netflix, Disney, and HBO, bringing deep expertise in production accounting, budgeting, and managing complex, large-scale productions.

Manuel Meijide is the founder and director of Mundos Digitales and President of AI Assemble, with extensive experience across advanced visualisation, virtual production, VFX, AI, and emerging technologies. He leads the Mundos Digitales Conference, now in its 22nd edition in A Coruña, and has contributed to national audiovisual initiatives such as Spain’s White Paper on Virtual Production developed within the Audiovisual Hub Plan.

Pedro Barbadillo is a Spanish filmmaker, producer, and film consultant specialising in international co-productions. He has written, directed and produced documentary films and series for national and international broadcasters, collaborating with networks and platforms across Europe. From 2010 to 2025, he served as Director of the Mallorca Film Commission and was a board member of the Spain Film Commission. His work includes productions for ARTE, Sky Studios and RTVE, and he has served on juries at major international film festivals.

Lukáš Skalník is the Founder and CEO of Fantasy Studios, a Prague‑based studio specialising in virtual production, and the co‑founder of animation studio Eallin, which currently employs around 60 people in Prague, Tokyo and Bratislava. From 2010 to 2014, he served as Vice President of the International Quorum of Motion Picture Producers and took part in several international co‑productions. He has worked closely with the New York office of Amnesty International, producing the global campaigns “Standing up for Freedom” and “One More Voice”, and has collaborated with artists such as Peter Gabriel, Meryl Streep, Hans Zimmer, Wyclef Jean and Terry Gilliam of Monty Python.

As a producer, he has been behind numerous short animated films and series, documentary projects and co‑productions, including the international experimental feature Exquisite Corpse, which brought together 54 directors from 46 countries, and the 2023 feature documentary 15x15x5 Minisalon. Today, Lukáš leads Fantasy Studios, which has delivered virtual production for projects and brands such as AMC, Prime Video, Apple TV and TV Nova, and develops innovative workflows at the crossroads of animation, live‑action, virtual production and sustainable green filming.

In the Operate the LED Stage bootcamp, Lukáš brings a producer’s and studio founder’s perspective: he will show how an LED stage fits into the full production pipeline, how to use it to shoot smarter and more sustainably, and how to structure collaboration between clients, crew and the studio so that virtual production becomes a creative upgrade rather than a logistical headache.

Alba Meijide is an Artificial Intelligence engineer with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in AI from the University of Manchester, and experience in AI consultancy and project management across the audiovisual sector and beyond.
