my career

why do i choose my career? well, actually that's a really good question. I'm not pretty sure why, but I guess I have a few theories about it. First of all, my mom worked at Blockbuster for 18 years until the company went bankrupt, so I spend 12 years of my life submerged in corridors full of movies. Since I was a little girl, my mom and I have 'cinema afternoons', we can spends hours watching movies and documentaries, sometimes my old brother join to us. But when I was a child I've never think about study something related to "create" movies, I wanted to be an archaeologist and then, an actress, even a filosfy or  study teacher. for a long time i aso wanted to study social work.

When I applied, I didn't have any other option, actually, this career and this University were my only option and if I hadn't accepted at the university, I would work and study to apply again.

In second place I would say the career is dynamic and broad, it cover many different areas and give me the possibility to choose what I like the most. If you like to write and read you have the script area, if you like to work alone you can do the edition, If you like team work you would definitely like filming, etc. Since I'm pretty volatile and I can't focus just in one thing, this career let me do what I want. Cinema really let you explore a million of posibilites and can make you wonder the way you see the world.

I can't say "I chose my career because of this" cause I don't have it really clear, but those are the answer i give to the people that often question me why I did it.

My future plans are related to popular education, make film workshops for children in my city of origin.

After I finished She-ra and the Princesses of Power, I rewatched it a few times because I didn't feel emotionally prepared to start a new series. But then a friend I really care about said to me I should watch Anne with an E, a netflix adaption of the famous book Anne of Green Gables. And, right now, after I finally finished the third and last (at the moment) season, I don't feel emotionally prepare to start a new series, again. And I just had to say that this serie is one of the best I've seen in a while. The serie is about a 13 years old orphan name Anne Shirley, who arrives by mistake in the farm of Green Gables, were the siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthberth were expecting a boy. However, Anne manages to stay in the farm despite the initial prejudices and changes the little town of Avonlea forever with her imagination and bright personality. Everything about the show: the art department, the screenplay, the characthers and also the topics its talk about, are amazin...

a person i'd like to meet and why that person is angela davis

 I've admired a lot of women in my life since a young age. I was lucky that my mum was not a feminist itself but had a really anti patriarchal ideology when she raised me, so she was aware I would learn about a lot of strong independent and revolutionary women while I was growing up. So, when I read the blog topic of this week, I immediately knew I was going to write about one of them. I thought about musicians I really love like Mon Laferte or Lee Hi or Mitski, only to tell them about how much I love their music and how it help me to go through really rough times of my life. I thought about actresses I admire like Jennifer Lawrence, Lupita Nyong'o or Anya Taylor-joy (the love of my life, oh my god, I would really LOVE to met her, sure it would be the best moment of my life, but whatever) and say to them about how much talent they have and how much I appreciate their hard work in every interpretation, because they have to go through such awful things in that industry.  Bu...

the soundtrack of my life aka my own coming of age movie

Okay, I've OBVIOUSLY thought about this a lot, since I love music and I love movies and I love daydreaming because life is miserable so you have to cope some how, and tbh I actually have a whole playlist about this, and I've decided many year ago that definitely a movie of my life would start with FULL MOON by Black Ghost, from Twilight (2008) so soundtrack, with a shot of me running late to work, or school, or to wherever place I’m going to, probably because something bad happened to me.   that said, i really think Twilight's soundtrack was a big influence to me, since was one of the first things i heard for myself and not because my mom or my brother told me so, I met bands and musicians that keep by my side and on playlist till today such as Florence and The Machine, St. Vincent, Paramore, Muse, SIA and Sleeping At Last, and a lot of other artist that I listen casually. I think was one of the first times I really felt music on another level My music genre is kinda divers...
