A Person Isn't Born With The Intelligence

It Is Quite Common To Meet People That Live A Few Kilometers Away From Mexico And That Have Never Been There.

It's Difficult To Act In A Language That's Not Your Own. It Takes A Long Time To Put Your Head Around It And Feel Confident With It.

I Think Since I Was In Drama School, I Wanted To Direct In The Theatre. When You Are An Actor, You Just Have To Open Your Eyes And You Start To Learn A Lot About How To Survive On Set And What's Important And How To Tell A Story. Directing Is Really About Putting Yourself Out There, To Be Slapped In A Way. You Know That In The Kitchen, You're Gonna Get Burned. It's Very Scary But Very Exciting As Well. If You Have Something To Say, You Have Nothing To Lose And You Probably Learn From The Experience.

Shamefully, Mexico Isn't A Country That Provides Opportunities Equally And Democratically To Everyone. Although There Is A Myth As Well About That, Because If You Have Something To Tell, You Will Find A Way To Do It. You Might Get Frustrated Doing It But Hey, That's The Country We Live In. I Want The Chance To Live And Experience The Country That I Come From. I Keep Struggling And Fighting Against These Very Seductive Offers That Require That I Live Somewhere Else. It Is A Shame That It Has To Be Like That. But You Are Young. If You Don't Have A Family Then There's No Excuse. Try, At Least.

We Have A Documentary Film Festival In Mexico. It's Really Original. It's Called Ambulante, And It's A Film Festival That Travels Around Several Cities In Mexico.
