“Francisco not only rose to the challenge of working in black-and-white on ‘Set Fire To The Stars’, he surpassed it. His incredible work, reflected in his BAFTA nomination, taught me fresh insights about the dynamic between camera and costume. Francisco's imagination is not swayed by the boundaries of budget or resources; his commitment and passion for the material is outstanding and his attention to detail exemplary.”
