He also developed and greenlit the smash hit “A través de mi ventana,” which is currently the third most watched Spanish language film on Netflix of all time and the fifth most watched non-English language film overall. It has since evolved into a three-film franchise. After his time at Netflix, Juan left the company to start his own production company, where his ability to select stories is already making waves globally with the adaptation of “Mala Influencia,” a Wattpad novel with a large international youth fan base.
