Post 5 - My future job

  


 

I would love to work in anything creative. On my career area (cinema) I like the scripting, the editing and the art direction, but is really difficult to get a “big job” on those areas. Also I don’t like the industrial way of production, it works hierarchically and is taken over by a cultural and economic elite. I prefer to work on my personal stuff. Maybe an interesting path to follow could be applicate to state funding. I’m now working with a group of friends on a visual novel called (for now) “Antes todo esto era campo”. It’s about a young person that explores a town where the people believe in myths to explain the phenomena they don’t understand. The characters and events of the game are related to gender ideology and marginalized social groups.
I’m not interested in earn a lot of money with my art, but obviously I wouldn’t complain if something like that happens, anyway it isn’t my focus.
This is an indoors job, but also one that hasn’t any prohibition about the travelling, because technically I can work anywhere with my notebook.
If I have to choose like a “regular job”, I would like to work editing videos, maybe like an assistant for some film production, but that’s more from a survival necessity than something I’m looking for.

  He's Raul Ruiz, a Chilean filmmaker that was born in 1941 in Puerto Montt and died in 2011 in Paris. After the military coup in 1973 he moved to France because of his political ideology, leaving a finished but inedited film called Palomita Blanca , that was only released in 1992 when the dictatorship was already over. He directed a lot of films (over 100) and was best known for his experimental, surrealistic and oniric style. Ruiz wrote a book called “Poetics of Cinema” (1995-2007) in which explain his own theories to several factors of the filming art, like the possibility of deviation from the main plot structure, the execution of his poetic quality or the realization of a shamanic cinema. All the ideas he wrote about are portrayed in his films. One of my favorite piece of work from Raul Ruiz is a short video that was made in a cinema workshop in his lasts years, it’s called “Epistolar” and you can find it on youtube. Even after dead Raul Ruiz still released movies. La...

Post 2 - The best concert I have had

    I’m really bad at choosing things, like “the best thing”, but I’m going to talk about an experience that I consider special in some way. Los Prisioneros were my favorite band (maybe still are). When I was a child I already knew and sang constantly their songs. I remember not going to their reunion concert in Estadio Nacional (2001) because my parents thought that I was too young to take me there with them and their friends. I was really sad, but I understood the reasons that they gave to me. Anyway, four years later, one day my dad told me that my grandma got a pair of courtesy tickets to a show in Maipú and Los Prisioneros were going to be playing there. I could barely believe it. I remember being in the school waiting excited all the day the time to go home. I was ready to go like two hours before the beginning of the show and Los Prisioneros weren’t even the first band playing. When they came out to the stage I was shocked. They started to play and I forgot every...

Post 1 - A country I would like to visit

Imagen
  I don’t really have a particular interest in travel to another country. I like to travel, but it isn’t like an obsession, or my childhood dream or whatever. It’s more like “If you have the chance would you travel to --random country name--?”   and my answer will be almost in any case “Yes, I would.” Maybe it’s related to the fact that I have never left Chile, I don’t know. So anyway, I began to think (to write this post) in what country I could have a great time, and the answer came to my mind shaped like anime, weird films and ramen. Yes. The controversial Japan. Japan is an island country located in East Asia. Besides the rich history of the country, full of traditions, nowadays it’s well known worldwide for his anime culture and technological development. Here in Latin America the anime has a big fan base. Influencing different generations of people. I would love to visit any city or town of the country. Traditional or modern, a rural village or the biggest metropol...
