Atémonos las zapatillas y volvamos a caminar | Let's tie our shoes and walk again

(ESPAÑOL)

Rodar un cortometraje es una ardua y apasionante tarea. Qué contradicción ¿verdad? Pero es así. La profesión del creativo avanza siempre nadando entre dos aguas y es precisamente esa montaña rusa en la que caben sufrimiento, alegría, desesperación y felicidad, la que finalmente te lleva a descubrir nuevos territorios expresivos. Al final del camino te aguarda la paz en el espíritu cuando, al contemplar la obra acabada, rememoras que el camino ha valido la pena.

“Mi amigo Naim”, mi ópera prima tras muchos años de paciente espera, es un reflejo de esa mezcla de sentimientos. Ahora, desde la distancia que te aporta un año de recorrido, puedo afirmar que valió la pena. Hasta la fecha de este post, 25 selecciones y 5 premios internacionales lo certifican.

Pero esto ha sido únicamente el inicio de una carrera de fondo. Así es que, atémonos las zapatillas, agarremos de nuevo la mochila y sin pensarlo un segundo demos inicio a la segunda etapa de esta apasionante aventura. “La Camiseta” empieza su andadura.
