Mahay Alayón studied film directing in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, his birthplace. He worked for the film industry as a jack-of-all-trades to learn about the different roles. But in 2017, he decided to focus on writing and directing. Meanwhile, he's been making progress in his career as 1st AD for several productions, both national and international. He has directed half a dozen short films (Karma, Gen, Ruleta Rusa, Ego...). Lethal shopping is his first film in distribution.
