Artist Statement

A great part of me was astounded when I first discovered that I could be on the verge of a major change in career, that had first began with acting but through the years and especially this past year turned more and more to directing and sound/music.

When I first began thinking about the acting career, I was sure about one thing: Even though I would have to embrace different areas, my final stop would be cinema.

I began my career as an actress in Madrid with a vast musical background that I believed would help me when performing; for both areas were very similar in a way.  Both of them play with emotions, emotions that you have to transmit to the audience and I was sure that if I could feel when singing or playing an instrument I could do so when playing a character. In a way, music was what inspired me in the first place to take this path which I’ve chosen.

Even though my career focused almost only on interpretation, I was still interested, from the first moment, in all the other areas of filmmaking, but it was not until I directed a short film that I had to present in class, that my desire to engage on the Film Directing Learning Quest and the sudden change in my career began.

I think that little by little my desire of becoming a film director or sound/ music designer is growing unstoppable in me, though I love acting, I feel that my need of knowledge, of knowing everything that builds this seventh art, can only be granted to me by directing and designing the film's sound/music. It offers me a possibility that no other area inside filmmaking offers, a possibility to tell your own stories, to show your own view of the world and the world you create, to pass over the barriers that the other fields of filmmaking might hold and be able to create your own universe and your own language, to bound together everything that exists in one simple shot.

For all that reasons I'm here, to continue discovering myself into this huge art.

So... keep on MOVIEng, shoot it all!
