Many people enter the film industry through a family member or friend. In your case, how did you enter the film industry?

Vocation and desire to tell and create stories

 

Why did you decide to make movies?

Because I was an actor first and that led me to get on the other side of the camera

The best and the worst of this project is…

The best thing is the creativity and the worst thing the financing

 

If you could go back in time, would you change anything about filming or pre-production?

Of course, you would always add or subtract something, when you see the results in the end

Do you have experience in film festivals, how has your experience been?

The experience is always good whether you win or lose. We never lose the illusion of continuing to create new things.

Noboby helped us. We had to do everything ourselves
