Emilio Alfaro Garcia was a writer of films, novels, and plays from Zaragoza, Spain. He abandoned his career as a medical doctor to focus on his literary interests. In the early 1960s, he wrote experimental art films for the director José Luis Pomarón, before founding the company Moncayo Films, which produced more mainstream thrillers. In the later years of his life, he worked as an activist for the left-wing PSOE party.
