Manuel Esteba |
This is the production company of '''Manuel Esteba''', a producer and director of exploitation films whose main "merit" is to have directed what's considered to be the worst movie ever made in Spain: the 1983 E.T. spoof El E.T.E. y el OTO, filmed in two weeks with a ridiculously low budget. Not surprisingly, this was his last film (by the way, he still claims that Spielberg gave him permission personally to make the movie). |

Not surprisingly, this was his last film (by the way, he still claims that Spielberg gave him permission personally to make the movie).
