Interests

I'm a Filmmaker and Cinema has a lot to propose, to argue, to construct and to give knowledge about other form of arts like: architecture, dance, sculpture, music, paint and literature, cinema integrates art converting it into a script, the scenography, setting, props, acting, music, photography, in a great cinematographic artpiece unifies all its elements.

Through cinema we create culture by giving feedback, modifying our social paradigmas, cinema provides us a room for catharsis giving us the possibility to assume other goals, realities, comparisons, assume other positions and it especially allows us to dream.

Through cinema we live what we feel, traditions and the search of that what we want to understand through stories that we tell. A journey that begins in Colombia and wants to get to Viborg, Denmark, to search and to show who we are as the worlds citizens, to assume realities that exists, but are so strange to somebody that comes from the other side of the ocean.

Thats why I wrote this motivation letter, I want to tell, I want to show, I want to learn and this opportunity is given me that leraning
