Biography

Augusto Cabada Cáceres was born in Miraflores in 1961. He studied film at the University of Lima, where he later taught Film Language and Screenwriting for several years.

He made his television screenwriting debut in 1985 when Danny Gavidia recommended him to Pancho Lombardi, who had begun producing a telenovela called Bajo tu piel (Under Your Skin), directed by Augusto Tamayo.
