Alauda Ruiz has shaped a life where cinema, advertising insight, and a bold leap into creative storytelling intersect. He studied at the Community Cinematography and Audio-Visual School of Madrid, built years in the advertising world, and reached a pivotal milestone with his debut feature, Cinco Lobitos. This achievement earned him Best New Director at the latest Goya Awards, a moment that tied together a long arc of work into a single, powerful recognition.

a new adventure

Five Little Wolves follows a mother navigating uncharted territory, inspired by the director’s own experiences. The journey from script to screen for Cinco Lobitos spanned five years, a period demanding persistence and a steady focus on what could be controlled. Ruiz emphasizes that staying consistent acts as a steady ally against uncertainty, helping to maintain momentum when hurdles arise. His earlier projects sharpened his intuition and reinforced the idea that the process itself holds value, even before a film reaches completion.

For Ruiz, Cinco Lobitos marks the first major step in a broader artistic path. He openly notes that several projects remain in development, and he is savoring a productive moment as he sketches what he hopes will become his second feature to direct.

How to turn an idea into reality

Real progress happens when ideas are clear enough to drive energy toward a definite goal. Passion matters, but taking that first concrete step is essential. The same truth applies to starting and growing a business: ideas gain meaning only through the actions that bring them to life. Core traits of a successful entrepreneur include steady discipline, resilience, and a willingness to innovate and improve, even when norms shake things up. In the next episode of So Many Things to Do, Natalia de Santiago, an expert in economics and finance, shares practical steps for turning a project into reality and invites viewers to rethink a business idea from a fresh perspective.
