Bio
I am a native Spanish and Basque translator with 15 years of experience.
Having studied cinema and cinema lighting, and having worked as electrician and
gaffer for more than five years on different film productions in the UK, I have
a strong cinema background. Therefore, I am very familiar with film
terminology, e.g. screenplay terms or film production jargon.


15 years ago I finished (with Distinction) an Audiovisual Translation MA at
City University London. During these past years I have worked with different
companies of the field translating and subtitling (I own a EZTitles license) documentaries, feature films,
and series that have been broadcast on online streaming platforms and TV
channels such as Netflix, HBO, BBC Worldwide or Discovery MAX. Since June
2013, I collaborate with In-Edit, a music documentary festival, for whom I have
subtitled into Spanish more than 40 documentaries. Also, in 2015 I began
working as Quality Controller for a well known streaming platform. And, last but not least, since
2016, I work as live subtitle projectionist at the San Sebastian, Seville and
Gijón film festivals.


I consider myself a hardworking and reliable professional, and I am grateful
for doing a job that I enjoy and which gives me the chance to learn a bit more
every day.

These are some of the projects I have worked on up until now (the rest are at: https://basededatos.atrae.org/user/ion-zubizarreta-arturo/):
