What I remember most was when
selection to participate in a festival
very happy because one of the first
choices that the movie had
then that all the savings over
ballot morning once I
I was at a festival then
someone who knows him nobody was going to be
an opening party before
the activities that are going to be done
again a piece of cocktails and
they also invite all the people who
they will be active but again
does not know anyone then director
navarro following mojitos I remember
I never fell quite right but I decided
risk myself
you can imagine the scene alone in
the bar with mojito waiting for
someone came to talk then
I feel that someone is beside me
when he turned to Martin Scorsese asking
so that he knows for those who do not know
martin scorsese martín we are for
these movies who like their
work can give you an idea of what
excited that the complete paralysis that
invaded because at my side is one of the
best film directors and also my
favorite director had to talk had
that tell him something cooking photo the signature what
what was
also that I was in this festival with
the movie he had to see the decision
of something of course has never been very
brave and then I gave him a couple of
drinks to the mojitos to pay a little
of heat and speak to you flames emboldened
it pushes slightly very awkwardly the
Martin truth and luckily boat and me
smile and I start to tell him all kinds of
things I love your work is the best
what has happened to the world to the cinema for you
what to do if in fact I have this
festival I bring my first movie should
be the one that a bonche of
alex of the movie I gave it and I said
tomorrow the screening to and tell me that
think king only smiled and nodded
very polite he accepted the post the
invitation
Obviously I will go but the most
felt and laughed
he remembered that I asked him what he was doing and
He said he was accompanying a friend
producer who is going to give a talk and I
I had to be there
he remembered that he asked for a couple of us more
we started to take practice
the truth that until now I do not remember in
what ended that appointment with martin scorsese
and not by mosquitoes is what
it really was a great fantasy
and it is that fantasies and how dreams
they have always been what they have taken me
to make decisions to take risks
I think everyone here in general has
a dream a fantasy that makes us take
one or the other path that accompanies us
during this journey but that above all
will encourage us with fears or
doubts about that path that we decided
take in my case besides martin
scorsese
I wanted to make movies which led me to
study film when he was 28 years old
but it also led me to want to be in
my house because for me mimicry
He symbolized in step into the
I dream that I want to meet more goals
soon I left my house I was
doing something that would take that dream
of course as every decision has its
good part and its bad part
the bad part is that I faced all
this adult reality of which
we are usually not aware when
we are sheltered with your parents who was
I have to pay a light meal income
water and the good part because I think that
this decision forms my character
that decision the one that prompted me to do
new things to risk it is she who
it is she who evoked when I need
make some madness to make that decision
of course with that output
well the need to get that
first job
and that is that many of you can have
the luck of leaving the university of
find that job
I came to do what you like and that you
pay incredible other of us
we face the harsh reality that no
we have experience
we are young and also nobody wants to give
that opportunity to acquire
experience and if you are going to do it without
a pay then something that I
I definitely could not risk it and
tomás
I keep looking and I find a job in
the production house in fact also of
one of the publishers of English without
barriers at the same time that it has never
liked to mention the work in fact what
deleted from my resume really good
what the hell water avoiding classes
English
regardless of what I could
give in the sense of learning the language
or improve it
Well, he’s doing absolutely nothing
but I remember
this work because being in that
work was prompted changes in my house
he remembered that demonizing doing there must
leave one house to lock up another and
they were absolutely nothing then
just with another friend who also wanted
make movies
we both decided to give up our
work is good if nobody is going to give us
that opportunity
we have to go out and give us that
opportunity and that opportunity was to make
a movie because the movie yes
there was a system that things but yes
there was the movie and this movie
we did good how difficult it can be
we are about to venture to one of
the greatest adventures he had in
my life one of the most difficult but
also to that he taught me new
experiences that opened new paths for me
this process of producing this movie
it took a year and a half to write the
script search for financing to do it
produce the shoot produce it
again again
I was before the barrier that
I was young has no experience has
that I’m going to give money to make a
movie you do not have to find that
person who would like to give it to me because no
I had what protects me to endorse
make a movie for god then
looking for options one of the first
can they sell my car they ask the pope
Even at some point I’m sure
that picks up garbage and I sold it
willing to do anything for this movie
because this movie my opportunity to
enter that industry to which both
I wanted to belong of course existed
the miami festival
we are not going to do it but what I remember
of the shooting was mainly when I
it was time to leave one of the actresses at home
per share and from there he lived in Polanco and
the feeling was coming back on
peripheral two in the morning three and never
in my life, she has been as tired as in
these dates
then he comfortably decided to turn off the
car on the blinkers and stay
asleep on peripheral will spend minutes
hours the work is that I do not remember a
police
touch the super- hosted window that the
moon was making him sleep
peripheral the time he cared not
matter that is at home were
it mattered what he had spent in this
movie I needed this opportunity
luckily we finished it went to
festivals we had in miami in a
festival in chile
here in Mexico but independently
of that the movie did not absolutely
more did not have more participation anymore
curriculum
despite this we managed to place it in the
jail in something that not many movies
independent Mexican has the luxury
to say that we have a January 23
my movie came out with 15 copies
these copies in reference to the number of
cinemas in which the movie will be
may sound a prudent number but if
they compare it with movies that come out with
200 300 copies because the difference is
they add to it the little
advertising that we had achieved
generate more than the cinema for example you
will leave depending on the number of
tickets that sell this first order of
week that 33 together too many people who
be interested and want to see your movie
in another weekend and it ‘s only in
my case my film resisted two purposes
of the week because it is also competing
with two great jewels of the
American cinematography that were bob
sponge and 50 about then then
recently and movie did not have any
opportunity went after the
weeks and with total red numbers
so far they have recovered or weighing
what he invested in that movie
evidently when it came out of the billboard
and when I saw all this great failure that
I had harvested because it was not for
Nothing happy was not proud of
course I got depressed 23 months
asking me all kinds of things that
I had done wrong it was fine what I had
fact
it was worth so much effort so that
final will be displayed on a billboard and
that nobody would like to see the work
thinking about this
think a little bit of what he had done
well or what he had done wrong and what
I was doing wrong when I did not
recognize the work he had done
because if maybe the movie is a
crap but also was not
competing in the living conditions and
above all be in a great failure the
which should I remember because the
failures are not hands nor are they anymore
necessary are the necessary consequence
of someone trying something new and
it exploded then I invite you all
you to have many failures
if you do not have failures they are not
trying something have to have it
because in addition the failures
besides teaching us new things about
give us your experience they are going to open us
new roads that the best ever
we would have imagined
in my case it was created
he writes films writes he has just been born
with the spirit with looking for all
people that like me
they wanted someone to give them a
opportunity they believed in them that
they have incredible ideas but nobody
I wanted to hear them
that’s why he writes to us if we have five today
years
but just like the movie any
prove that an enterprise has its part
initial that is very bad where
you usually face you I’m young I have
experience to believe in cinema about
everything in the culture is not healing
reach you want to support filmmakers
then the possibilities at least here
in this country they are not completely by
luck we find someone who does
supported and came from the hand of which ever
I thought he would support us and that was the
Mexican government of cinematography was
the first person who supported us and who
he believed in what he writes if he wanted to give me
to all the filmmakers
this was with a project called the
film festival that like
they said yes it’s a unique here in mexico and
supports just that Mexican scriptwriters but
also what I this festival will gather
all allies
to all these people who are paying
out there without knowing where to go
how to go how to start what to do and thanks
to them today obsession is an option
strong that they do more projects and that
continues to grow
is a community and I want to leave you with
A phrase from Alan Kay do that is a
computer he says the best way to
predict the future is inventing by
supposed to launch referred to the
technology
this is a great way for site
download one of the founders of pixar
adopt this phrase because I believe that the
future will not reach our door and
touch them not to get the opportunities and
say here I am
if someone gets that opportunity they should
grab hold
but if someone does not give them
opportunity have to go out and create that
opportunity
thank you very much the
