In television, in 2005 he worked with the RCN network to produce the project El Concejal Lucho; then, in mid-2007 he was hired by FOX (Fox International Channels) as executive producer for the first series that the network produced in Latin America for its prime time slot, Tiempo Final. Fox was seeking to bring together a team with experience in film production in order to have a highly competitive product for the international market. The production design of the series involved putting together a completely film-based team and shooting for 80 days for the full production of 26 episodes, which were also 100% post-produced in Colombia.
