A very close person has left this world, another one thinks that knows everything an specific subject matter, (but it actually doesn't. In the meantime another one, grows and realizes that life is about thank you. And at the end one has to assimilate everything that comes our way and keep moving forward cause the show must go on. Editing time. Keep Film and Press ON.

I always remember one of the best thing that my friend director and filmmaker Dmitry Dolgov told me when we started working together was that you have to create your own opportunities. Which I am currently doing, with all the things that I am working on. One of them is the documentary SueÑa with collaborators around the Globe today let me Introduce you to the Japanese actors Eigi Kodata and Kenta Ogawa, They are part of the second Act of the documentary.

Churches are amazing places for great shots from arcs to religious iconography or architecture. It is a field for a filmmaker to explore visual storytelling. You can say so much in one shot. A screen shot. This belongs to a project that I am working on with sociologist Fernando Sanchez and Rev. Maurice Francois.
May the 4th be with you.

6 years ago I was a personal trainer full in fact that my my degree Sports Sciences which I hold with pride. One day I really discovered that my real dharma, following my purpose is Film whichever that means. The bliss of following the craft of filmmaking has changed me and make me happier. I had experiences that I wouldn't trade for anything the world and the ones to come. It is not the awards and the red carpet; it is about the Art. This is some of the staff what we are doing now.

Multitasking is something that as an independent filmmaker you must do. That is until you find those professionals that share the same passion as you do. Create your own opportunities comes with the price tag; tons of work but must be done until you design a system. I had to perform different production tasks during the film process; not because I wanted i,t but because it was need it. Yesterday I was editing today is writing. But Most important try to avoid to kinds of people the naysayers and the time wasters. Keep Calm and FILM ON and May the force be with you 🖖.
