5 ENTRY

One job I would really like to have is to be a screenwriter. Right now I’m in my last year of cinema so I had already written a few things. It’s not easy at all, in fact my first’s scripts were horrible and it wasn’t until 2013 I started writing more decently.

I was in the main class at college and the teacher asks us to tell a story we had in mind. I told the class what I had planned without expecting anything and suddenly everyone started laughing at the things that were happening in the narration. The teacher was very happy and told me it was an excellent comedy but I was pretty shocked because I never thought about it as a comedy, always as a drama.

Next week my idea was chosen to be produced and I didn’t know what to do. Finally I decided to realize the story and when the moment of having to write the script came; I sat in my desk without a single gram of faith and amazingly everything started to flow. That moment I realized how joyful is to write.

I expect to do it forever but I know it’s very difficult, especially in Chile because the Cinema Industry is so small. That’s also the reason why I pretend to specialize on it but not here, in another country.
