As a movie-obsessed teenager, Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona snuck into a film festival masquerading as a journalist to catch the eye of award-winning Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. Fast forward 15 years and Bayona’s early panache has paid off handsomely in The Orphanage, a supernatural thriller produced by Del Toro fresh off his 2006 hit Pan’s Labyrinth, which earned three Oscars and was Mexico’s nominee for best foreign language film. “Guillermo thought I was a 10-year-old with sideburns,” said Bayona of his first meeting with del Toro. “We kept in touch (and) he loved my work in music videos and short films.””*
