It is strange to wake up and realize that you are not in your quotidian life anymore, this week of adaptating has been really crazy, moving and diverse; exactly as the spirit of this region. Then I just came to the classroom and I could notice that everyone there is also as diverse as this city. I really enjoyed sharing the experience of the first day at the school. It was amazing to dig deeply into everybody’s stories from our childhood. The stories shared were fantastic and some of them very deep. I could notice that everybody here has a great story to tell. I hope that things get better and we can together make strong teams and powerful projects.

I’m very happy to be here, my mind doesn’t stop thinking and imagining the fantastic stories we are going to shoot. I’m going to take everything that comes from the faculty and my classmates, because it is something really worthy. My vision has never been as positive as now. I hope my inner devils disappear like a gentle dissolve (it is happening).

I enjoy to share my experiences with the others and learn as well from them, aware of course to doesn’t want to take their experience as mine, just as it is shown on Andrei Tarkovsky’s “Andrei Rublev”, when this Andronicos monk from the XV century on his pilgrimage around Russia, listen and watch everybody experience and notice that the end of his life that he couldn’t live his own experience because he was busy trying to live others.

It is also fantastic to notice that the acting in America comes really natural and it’s because that it is the character of the society, generally everybody has a very developed character and that it is perhaps one good characteristic of the individualism. The strength to take out naturally a situation where everyone can act like if they where in front of that fiction is something that surprised me, also we need to remember that we are on art school and I’m surrounded by other artists, great artists by the way. My idea is to also make my filmmaking more narrative, because that is one of the huge mistakes of young Mexican directors, we can always watch a fantastic decoration, great cinematography, wonderful editing, but what is always scrubbed from their projects is the story, the performance of the actors as characters and the sound.

I will try to find out how to deal with all those problems, fix them, and make them better, we will see the progress of the full time filmmaking student.
