Here are 10 simple reasons why I should be chosen for the World Nomads' Film Scholarship:
- I have a master degree in journalism. I finally ended up following my childhood dream: to make films.
- As an aspiring filmmaker, any helping hand is welcomed to launch what I hope to be a long and fulfilling career ; earning a living from my craft. I have gained some experience but not that much yet.
- I speak several languages (I get around in Spanish) and I always manage to make it out of any messy situation. I learned English when I got in Canada as a teenager.
- I am a Nomad by blood. I've lived in three different continents so far. I can't help it. But there is still so much more for me to discover if given the chance.
- So what more to ask than travel around while producing films?
- I travel the same way that I live, meaning: with the minimum of belongings, and the maximum of human contact.
- I write, I interview, I edit and I film. I am independent but some guidance is always useful.
- I work hard, I adapt easily and I learn fast. I've produced the whole video that I have submitted for the contest in one day (with the help of a recorder and a phone). The fact that I am not able to purchase a camera for now does not stop me from trying. By the way, I've never talked to Glen before then. Somehow, I think he's in love now(!)
- I need to go on a little climate exile from Canadian winter (yes it is an awfully good reason).
- I'm fun loving and easy-going, you'll see.
