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.

a country i would like to visit!

First of all, there are many-many countries I would like to visit, so it's a question that request a lot of thinking for me. I can't choose only one, I think, so I would say first of all Mexico. I have always wanted to travel to Mexico, I think it's such an interesting place witch a rich culture. Visually, I like everything, their art, their architecture, and culturally too, I'm very interested in their history and cosmology, and although I think I might have a few problems with the food, since I'm no really into spicy things, I'm willing to try as much as my paladar allows me if one day I get the chance to go there. Also I must admit that I would like to go with my mom, since she is really a fan of Mexican culture too and I think a grand part of why I would like to go is for her.  There are many countries in Latinoamerica in general I would like to go, but if I get the chance to leave the continent, I would like to go to Asia and go to Korea. I've been thin...

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...
