Hi, welcome to dyingfilmmaker13's blog.

Today we have something pretty much as a "free topic" entry, so as our teacher wrote that we should talk about something related to our careers, I'll write about the low budget films. In the rest of the world low budget films are a great way to start a career, directors work with a small group of technicals and actors, the thing is to create an incredible large world with the least amount of objets possible.

Here in Chile the thing is different, it does not matter if you're a new filmmaker or you have decades making films, the budget is equally low. There are just a few exceptions like the films of Sebastian Lelio or Andrés Wood [and those shitty movies -I don't even know if I should call them movies- like El Club de la Comedia or Stefan Kramer's]. The thing is, I've always thought that you do not need the best cameras, the best microphones or even the best actors to tell a good story. One of my favorite Turkish filmmakers did his first four movies alongside his friends, he was directing and making the photography, while a friend of him was encharged of the microphones, and the other two were the main actors. His movies are so remarkable, that made me realize that a great movie is not about the money, it's about the passion that you put on it.

So I guess that's what the future has for me, this is the right moment and the right time to try new things. After we graduate, we'll have to produce material to make some money, and then never stop.

  Hi, welcome to dyingfilmmaker13's blog.

Today I'll talk about post graduates studies that I'd love to do in the future, gotta say that it's a little bit hard to talk about it because it's the kind of stuff I don't even have thought about it. If being here in a undergraduate career let me out of money every single month, post graduates studies would kill me by a heart attack.

I remember those sad days in high school [but now happy days compared to my last few weeks here], when I don't had any idea of what should I do with my life, so I started to search online about Universities and careers of my interests. 

My brother studied journalism in Buenos Aires, Argentina. There he paid like USD$95 per month in a private institute without any scholarship or benefit, so I though that if he could made it, I can make it too. I searched on the UBA: Universidad de Buenos Aires, and in other tons of institutes that offer the career of filmmaking. 

I found that the superior education is absolutely nothing about the money compared to Chile, there you have to pay a reasonable price about all. There I found the documentary film post graduate course, it’s the same kind of post graduates studies that Universidad de Chile offers, but if you cross the border you’ll have the chance to study in a different country paying less more and live and interact among a different culture and a brand new filmmakers. 

I’m not 100% sure about it, but definitely I’m not backing down for the chance. Maybe someday I’ll be able to have a chance and improved my skills, of course I’d be honored to live for some years in another country, and even more if I’m using that time to become an specialist in the area that I truly like, making movies.

Hello everyone! Welcome to dyingfilmmaker13's blog.

Today I'm typing with a lot of nostalgia in my stone-heart, that's because I'll talk about the different jobs that I always dreamed about, so without further detour let's begin. When I was a kid I wanted to be a teacher, I was like 6 years old but the idea of teaching how to read to other people filled my tiny little heart with tons of joy, I though about it like practically opening a new world for other people's exploration. I was decided to become the best teacher in the world, but as I was growing up I realized that my social skills were well below average compared to other people, so my first dream job was discarded.

Later I wanted to be an actor, I always participated in the school plays for special events or some workshops. Playing different characters with other ideas or exploring varied personalities and taking some distance with my own way of being was an activity that I really enjoyed. People said that I was good, and in that age (from 12 to 15) I started to search for academies and universities that offered the career. But later, I watched some actors who were really really good, and I was covered with insecurity, so my second dream job was discarded. Sometimes I think about what would it be of myself if I would studied to become an actor instead of a filmmaker, maybe I would not be dying and depressed all the time. Maybe, someday I'll consider to play a role in a small project develop by myself, that would be nice.

And finally from my fifteen I was invaded for the filmmaking universe, I started to watch bunch of movies and TV shows until today, I'm not regret of choosing this career, anyway I always have thought that this is not my last showdown in a University.

I have to say that this was the deeper entry in my blog, I'm glad that I'm writing this one week later because just the teacher and Lii, my stalker that reads my blog from time to time, will read this one. See you all my fictional reader in other superficial entry next time.
