FRANCISCO JAVIER GARCIA de la CAMACHA GUTIERREZ-AMBROSSI, born on this date, is better known as Javier Ambrossi, is a Spanish writer, producer, director and actor. He is best known for forming a creative duo with Javier Calvo, with whom he wrote and directed the stage play La llamada and its film adaptation, as well as the television series Paquita Salas, Veneno and La mesías, and the film La bola negra, for which they won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Director.

Ambrossi’s career as an aspiring actor began in the early 2000s, as he took on many bit roles. He had supporting roles in a number of national television series, including El comisario, Génesis: En la mente del asesino, Hermanos y detectivos, Amar en tiempos revueltos, Cuéntame cómo pasó, Maitena: Estados alterados, La fuga, and Arrayán. His best known roles were as Gustavo in the series Sin tetas no hay paraíso and as Cristiano in the series Ciega a citas. Ambrossi also acted in the film Sexykiller, morirás por ella and had the leading role in El triunfo. In the theater, he had parts in El enemigo de la clase and in Beaumarchais.

Since 2013, Ambrossi has co-directed, alongside Javier Calvo, La llamada at the Teatro Lara in Madrid, a musical they wrote together. In August 2015, the Mexican production of La llamada opened at the López Tarso theatre in Mexico City with a Mexican cast. Los Javis co-directed the film adaptation of La llamada, Holy Camp!, which premiered in September 2017. It is centered around two teenage girls attending a rural Catholic summer camp.

In 2012, Ambrossi started a relationship with actor and director Javier Calvo. Together, the two are universally known as “los Javis” and have become public figures with active social media followings. They spontaneously proposed to each other at the Capitol Cinema in Madrid during the premiere event for one of their films.

On the whole, Ambrossi and Calvo, are bringing greater visibility to the LGBTQ+ community and related themes via their work in the mainstream media industry. Their work has been described as “representative of a Spanish queer aesthetics which navigates between combative subversion and mainstream normalization” and as “changing hegemonic social and ideological constructs in relation to gender, sexuality, and identity”.

Though they remain together as artists, in November 2025, the couple announced their separation after 13 years together.
