The Adventurous Life of Moreno

The evolution of human cultures and the big diversity between them was always a subject that interested me. Having a degree in Anthropology allowed me to acquire more knowledge and a better understanding of the human history. In the last semester of my studies, I got the opportunity to do an internship in a Production Company which, at the time, was producing a documentary about Macao and the people from Macao that lived in Lisbon. Having collaborated with this Company and being involved in the production of this documentary allowed me to look at a different perspective of documenting the stories of these people and how this can be helpful to Anthropology. Thus, last year, I decided to apply for a technical course in the area of audiovisuals. This course helped me to learn and develop a set of skills in filmmaking production, allowing me to put into practice those skills in a more practical and confident way. Therefore, winning the 2015 Travel Film Scholarship would be a one in a lifetime opportunity because it would mean, not only that I could travel and discover an amazing and beautiful country such as Colombia, but also that I could be in contact with the community and learn their culture, as well as documenting their stories, which would allowed me to combine three of my biggest passions: traveling, Anthropology and filmmaking.
