NY Glam: What projects are you currently working on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am in meetings with different production companies in Madrid, in order to find the right match to produce my script \u201cLife is a Dream,\u201d inspired in the play by Calder\u00f3n and the \u201cDesaparecidos\u201d in Argentina. I’m also re-writing a script about a middle-age woman who has been victimized by an ambivalent partner. (Ambivalent Love). And I’m also doing some research about the architect Henry Klumb ands his wife Else Klumb, which are the subject of another script that I’ll be writing in a Writers Residency that I won, in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: What makes a film great for you? Are\nthere certain qualities that make a film better for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\ncome from the theatre tradition, where you have a direct dialogue with the\naudience. Ands what fascinates me about film, is that it’s a team effort. You\nwrite a script and when you shoot you realize it has a life of its own.\nFilmmaking is about telling a story with images… and when a film is great,\nevery time you watch it, you find a different layer…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: <\/strong>As a screenwriter, what is the most\nimportant aspect of building a character?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being truthful to the character.\nFollowing his\/her impulses, finding the action that best suits his\/her desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: Top 3 favorite projects that you have\nbeen involved in?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStray Dolls\u201d by Sonejuhi Sinha,\n\u201cYou, Me, Bathroom, Sex< Now\u201d by Francisco Lupini and the theatre play \u201cAy\nCarmela.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: Do you\nexpress yourself creatively in any other ways?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My passion is acting. I love reading\nin general but specially short stories. And I love to practice and to teach\nYoga and meditation. I have a class of yoga and writing called \u201cFrom the Heart,\nto the Mouth to the Page.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NY Glam: What advice would you give to someone\nwho wants to have a career in filmmaking?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
