And finally, but not less important. Here is the trailer of my short film Porcella. More news of Porcella coming soon.
Episode 1: Finding Flamenco
Since I came to NYC, a lot of things have happened to me. I think, I could fill at least one fat book writing about them. New York is as terrific as terrible, as amazing as chaotic, as exclusive as open. But in such a contrast of cultures, chaos of languages, fast motion of people, it’s impossible not to jump in.
That’s why I decided to join with Porcella ( I called her like that but her real name is Paola Mathé) a series of episodes trying to catch a little “beat” of this unstoppable Transylvania. The web series calls “Finding Paola” because is about a haitian girl that features, film, and focus on the people and places that makes the apple the big apple-
Here is our first episode! Enjoy!

Que viva la Música
It’s been a while with no posting at all. The thing is that this year has been divided between shooting and editing. I’m spending half of my month shooting and the other half editing. Not to mention the little things that has to be done in my “must do” list for this year. Among others: “Learning to play chess”. Just until now, chess was quite of a terrifying, too complex board game. But not anymore. The entire story will come in a new video-but for instance here is part of what I’ve been doing in the last month:
First, here is a video that I did for Cartel Urbano magazine in Colombia. It’s an interview with colombian film director Carlos Moreno (“Dog eat dog”, “All your dead ones” “Escobar: el patrón del mal”) talking about his upcoming movie “Que viva la Musica”. Check it out!
Una entrevista que hice para Cartel Urbano con Carlos Moreno (Perro come perro, Todos tus muertos, Escobar: El patrón del Mal). Quise aprovechar el tema de la película y sobretodo, a su autor Andrés Caicedo para recorrer con Moreno un imaginario de los lugares en los que pudo haber estado Caicedo cuando en 1974 se encontraba en Estados Unidos buscando como vender sus guiones a una productora de cine de Hollywood. Agúzate bacalao!

Chinchilla’s Reel 2013
I just noticed, the title of this post sounds like a championship racing or some, which is fun.But the video that you’re about to see it’s being nothing but a race. A race against anything that can interfere in the creating-surviving travel that we traced when we started making movies a couple of years ago. Luckily and gratefully, Chinchilla Band has found great people that has make this trip anything but fun. The good thing is that the race is going to continue and it’s not gonna get any slower. The bad thing is that there are not any, only get lost during the travel. But sometimes, get lost is even better than going on a straight direction.
