Mom, I want to be a filmmaker


 
 When I was little they used to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I liked to sing, music and -of course- the show and lights, so I always answered that I wanted to be a singer. I wanted to have fans and travel the world, meet all kinds of cultures and people through music.
Growing up, I realized that although my passion for music continued, there was a much deeper passion, and that was inventing stories. At first I thought I wanted to be a cartoonist, since I liked to draw and make comics, but over time I discovered that my true passion was always cinema. I never thought about being a filmmaker before, I cut my wings myself when thinking that making movies was something very far away.

When I was 16 years old, I remember that I started watching movies almost every day, I was passionate about them. In a notebook I wrote scripts and stories that he wanted to film. And that's when I decided. I wanted to be a filmmaker. Since then I prepared to give a good P.S.U. and study film at the University of Chile.

With the results in hand, it was time to apply to the University... I postulated to my priority, and postulated to the other options, were also cinema but in different universities. After days the results arrived. I was not inside the selection. My world came down and I felt that I had missed the opportunity to become a filmmaker :(

I was inside in the selection of other university, but I really wanted to study at the U. de Chile, so my parents gave me a second chance and I prepared the P.S.U. for second time. 
After the same process and a very long and exhausting year, this time I was inside the selection of U. de Chile. I was very happy. Really very happy. He had achieved it. I was going to study what I was passionate about at last. 

The first day of university was an experience I will never forget. That first day of classes with classmates who had the same dreams as me. I meet people who had the same goals. The days went by and although it was harder than I imagined, I felt a great satisfaction to study what I liked so much.

Until now that I am in my fourth year I have had good and bad times, but I have confirmed that it is what I really want to do all my life. I really like the direction of actors and write scripts.
In the future I would like to work in an independent production company, be a director and make films that show sexual diversity.
Also, I would love to be a film teacher at the University of Chile, to teaching future filmmaker. 

I leave you a ridiculous photo
