If I ask your friends to describe you, what would they say?
They
would say that I am someone that can`t stop moving. Combined with my
cinema profession in Madrid I play also on a latin music band in Paris.
The result: last week in Guadalajara, now in Sofia (laughing), and next
week going to Paris for a concert there. So my friends also usually say
that they can never see me.
What qualities do you feel a successful artist should have?
I
think, and I hope there is not a...
“You and I shall pass on but our stories
shall linger.”
From
yesterday, today and tomorrow, stories come from all time and all ages, keeping
us unwearied, unbridled, unburdened in its magical realm. A realm of make believe
where no matter how desperate things seem there is always something to learn. Learning
that changes the way we see our world, the way we act or think, the way we are
supposed to live and evolve to what is truthfully our true essence.

Winnerss of the 24th edition of the Tokyo International Film Festival were announced on Sunday.
President of the International Competition Jury, Edward R.Pressman said:
“Especially this year, it has been difficult to keep films alive in Japan but I would like to thank festival chairman, Mr. Yoda, and all the people for making TIFF possible. The prevalent theme in some of the best films such as Play, When Pigs Have Wings, and Untouchable was imm...
Since BARDSONGS (2010) screened in Palm Springs this past PSIFF 2011, I’ve been speaking to director Sander Francken about doing an interview about what I thought was an extremely intriguing subject for a film, that of oral storytelling in a time where storytelling has changed so much that the old modes have long since departed us. Or have they? Sander’s film is a tribute to oral storytelling and ‘bardsongs’. I tracked him down in Copenhagen at CPHPIX 2011 where his film screened and we ...

journalist/filmmakers Vanessa McMahon and Ted Mills make RC interviews FUN!!! woohoo! ;-)
I have been awake for the past 40 minutes and am still not ‘awake’ if you see what I mean. I know I managed to sleep well last night but I feel like… well a zombie! Oh, but no mention of zombies today as yesterdsay was horror day I actually had some cracking meetings yesterday! You can’t beat a productive meeting
Anyway, I hear Black Swan is supposed to be great, can’t say I’m surprised as the trailer looks fab, and Requiem for a Dream is a superb film of the directors....
De Palm Island Sea Trek!

20 feet underwater, with air supply via cable: snuba dive and walk on the ocean, wrecked planes, fish...
WE LOVED IT wawwwwww.
Follow six of us and see what we saw on this short paradise.
Stairway to heaven, this way, down please!!
Well, I just set up my account in the hope that this may make it easier to enter even more festivals - having been entering obsessively since I finished my short last year. I have never written anything on a blog before, but I guess it's just like typing - which is another distraction from doing my tax return or dealing with the hippopotamus sized pile of washing I need to do after galavanting around various film festivals in the last few months and never doing laundry. I guess I will start to s...
IMAGINE: / 25th Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival15 to 26 April 2009 – Pathé TuschinskiFrom April 15 to 26, the festival will see its 25th edition. An anniversary therefore, but that is not the reason we gave the AFFF a new label.So why is there a new name? * Because the term 'fantastic' is too often confused with the more limited term 'fantasy'.* Because we think that IMAGINE: not only sounds better, but also implies an invitation to the audience: 'Just imagine that...'* But above all, bec...
