Mediacrest adds new names to its staff to strengthen the team for the projects being launched in the areas of documentaries and entertainment. 

The first is Israel López, who joins as Head of documentaries, to organise and manage both external and internal documentary projects. From this position he will create synergies with the entertainment and fiction departments and will seek the international projection of the production company's documentary productions.

In 2017 he travelled to North Korea, the inaccessible and hermetic Asian country, where he made a special for Cuatro and its programme “En el punto de mira” (Unicorn Content).

He has also been the creator of several documentaries, including “Yo fui... un asesino” (Cuarzo Producciones, 2017), a true crime for DMAX focused on the life of the katana killer José Rabadán; and “Yo fui... un narco” (Unicorn Content, 2018), also for DMAX and of which he was the creator and executive producer, which chronicled the life of Laureano Oubiña, the most famous and important drug trafficker in Spain.
