RIP Joan Franco Basque actor, cinematographer and photographer, Joan Franco Prado died on October 14 in Las Negras, Andalucia, Spain. He was 65. Born on April 21, 1959, in Viorio, Álava, Spain, he was an actor, an extra, and played different technical roles behind the camera. "He was a great cameraman and photographer: I learned a lot from his knowledge and experience," says Diego Pérez Cano, director of 'The Interrogation', a film in which Franco was deputy director. He participated in several shoots in Oasys MiniHollywood. "He was a stalwart of the park, always willing to support new projects in exchange for nothing, and giving you a smile," says José María Rodríguez Linde, manager of the town of Tabernas. And along the same lines, from the Café-Bar Ambrosio, home of the Almeria Western museum-cinema: "He was always willing to collaborate altruistically with his characteristic and sarcastic smile". Prado appeared as a drunk and was the cinematographer on 2019’s “Arizona 1878 una historia del Viejo oeste”.
