An Island in the Mediterranean Sea

Ageless Travel

The idea of making a documentary about Colombia fascinates me, and having a tutor to do this is an opportunity that I do not want to miss. So I have decided to present to World Nomads contest my first solo documentary work.

Despite I work professionally as a Tour guide in Menorca, my passion is the audio-visual world.

What I like most is traveling and telling stories, and I found out that documentary doctrine gives you the chance to immortalize people stories in a visual way.

I studied documentary filmmaking at the University, however I did not find the right moment to make of it my profession.

Actually, I am thrilled in thinking that there is a chance of being chosen. However, just the fact of having made this mini documentary has already been a worthy experience.

Ana Erce is an amazing traveler. She was one of the firsts Spanish stewardesses in 1948. She used her free flight tickets to help other people at developing countries: she lived with remote tribes, and she became more and more adventurous as she was getting older. Despite Ana has Alzheimer, her family still encourage her to live her dreams. I have never met such an inspiring traveler.

I must confess that it was a big challenge to make a documentary about her because sometimes the illness does not let her follow the interview, and she looses the focus. Her son, Guille, was a big help.

Thank you for organizing this type of contests. In my case it has motivated me to immortalize Ana Erce story.

I think life is in fact the best adventure, and inspires me on this work.

I've never submitted an audiovisual work to any contest, but when I saw this, I could not resist!

Why?Because I want to learn more about the audiovisual world, and this is a great opportunity, I love Brazilian music culture, and traveling is one of our passions.

We started recording in a self-taught way, and last winter I decided to make a documentary filmmaking course at the University, to have the opportunity, one day, to turn a hobby into a profession.

We are willing to give everything to get the most entertaining report, and therefore we offer us not only as reporters retransmitting what happens in a carnival in Brazil, so we want to participate! Yeah! Play percussion, learn how to dance, share the essence of this culture, and translate that experience!

I assure you that for me it will be a challenge, playing with a real band is not easy, and teach samba dancing to Edu, can broke down the patience of any Brazilian!

We're not shy at all to speak in English and acting in front of a camera!

We hope you enjoyed our video, and congratulations to the other participants for their work! Good luck to all!
