For more than 25 years I have dedicated myself full time to creative tasks mainly related to the cinematographic world. I have been linked especially with projects of great complexity to be materialized; with an emphasis on hard historical research. In 25 years I have been an assistant to almost everything in cinematography and even today I participate as a producer and as an assistant for special projects. That means that I am inclined to accept only projects that move me and pose notable challenges in their realization.

I have been a speaker on the themes of the Film Commission and the Creative Economy, as well as a consultant and evaluator of projects for audiovisual meetings and development workshops. Also member of the jury in some film festivals.

Since 2013 I have been a member of the directory of the discipline of valparaisologia.cl dedicated to the rescue and enhancement of the enormous historical heritage legacy of the city of Valparaíso.

Since 2018 I have been the presidency of valparaisofilms.cl with the task of cinematographically industrialize the Valparaíso region. He currently develops transmedia products and operates as a creative director, producer and film director.

I was lucky to be born with fingers for the piano. I wanted to be a footballer and I found my football in filmmaking. For the current project I hope to operate as a kind of showrunner or Executive producer.

Chile – contexto actual

Chile 

contexto actual

Hace algo más de 50 años Chile, país volcánico, se transformó en un laboratorio de experimentaciones extremas. A contar de la segunda mitad del siglo 20, esta pequeña nación, se convirtió en el primer país del mundo en colocar democráticamente un presidente y gobierno socialista al mando de una república. Esa experiencia exploratoria acabó trágicamente bajo la brutalidad antidemocrática de los poderes dominantes y los principales responsables de ese término impulsaron de inmediato otra experimentación pionera a nivel mundial: el primer país que impone el modelo neoliberal puro en su economía, al nivel de ser el único país del mundo en privatizar el agua.

Todo lo anterior puede explicar el mega estallido chileno de octubre de 2019. Aquella erupción, también llamada de Big-Bang chileno, produjo un hito inimaginable en los últimos 40 años: la extinción formal de la burda y antidemocrática constitución de 1980 impuesta por la dictadura de Pinochet, misma que aún rige lo chileno. Esa espuria constitución cayó como moneda de cambio en un acuerdo parlamentario alcanzado bajo presión extrema para calmar la erupción social. Este acuerdo inédito fue obtenido la madrugada del viernes 15 de noviembre de 2019; el ya históricamente famoso “Acuerdo por la paz social y la nueva Constitución”. En ese acto, firmado transversalmente por el espectro político a excepción del partido comunista, se acabaría de facto el régimen neoliberal en Chile.

El acuerdo incluye hoja en blanco, quórum de 2/3 y plebiscito de entrada en abril 2020 (pospuesto por la pandemia para el 28 de octubre 2020 y el resultado habrá que ratificarlo en una nueva votación que será obligatoria).

El match está en pleno desarrollo prometiendo lances muy visibles y ya casi nadie duda de que vivimos uno de los momentos mas insólitos y decisivos de los 210 años de la historia independiente de la supuesta república.
