Universal Dreams

I’m part of the school promo for the writing department, among the questions they asked me was: “What will you tell a friend who wants to study filmmaking”? And I answered: I won’t lie to you, it is hard. You’ll have to really want it, you’ll have to put all your heart and effort on it. But if this is your passion, do it! It’s totally worth it.

Being in LA I declare myself a dream come true, I am the only one in the writing department from a Latin developing country, English is my second language and the truth is I don’t have the best grammar ever. Many people didn’t believe that I could be where I am. Many advised me not to pursue filmmaking as it is a career that depends on talent and luck, something that maybe I didn’t have. Still, I believed in me, and I put my mind and heart to it and along the way MANY helped me.

I’m not successful, yet! I am broke, I’m tired, it has been very hard months away from my friends and family. I’ve cried, felt I can’t take it anymore, felt like a little ant among a very big world. I have felt a different kind of pain when my beloved ones have died and I’m away, when my mother is sick and I can’t help, when I see the news of my country and get depressed. But the Lord is gracious and he blessed me with angels that guide me through this mist.

I am 26 days away from getting my master’s degree in Screenwriting and if feel blessed. To celebrate this my best friend Rodolfo invited me to Universal. And seeing the movie magic left me breathless… It reminded me that it is worth it.
