Stories with another lens

We know that you have a special closeness to writing, in that sense we would like you to tell us about the stereotypes in narratives that we see on screen, do you think there is an evolution in the subject? do you have any personal path from where you consider that a turn to tell different stories?  

It is everyone's responsibility, it is not always the script. I have had to deal with scripts that have a lot of quality. Sometimes you even go to the theater and see a play by Tenesse Williams, William Shakespeare, Arthur Miller or a contemporary playwright like Martin McDonagh and it happens that at some point someone was not rigorous enough, be it the director or the actor and despite having an extraordinary script may lack depth and be the fault of other people. In general, television, cinema, theater, are a joint effort and I think we should be more generous with the work of others. Personally, I can see in the market in my country that the economic issue is prioritized much more than the creative or artistic one, and I think that greatly influences the depth of the projects we have. The more we prioritize money, the less deep our content will be. This does not mean that money and art should be fought, there are tremendously deep, fun and successful films, but it seems to me that it is the actors we would have to get closer to the directors, producers and writers to understand what the work of others is like. and to be able to understand each other.

Is it true that you have a very personal project in which everything revolves around music?  

Yes, indeed, music is something that has always been very present in my life, music itself is a frustrated dream of mine. Now that I had some free time I started making music and all this music that I am making would ideally be for a movie that I am writing. Fortunately, I am advancing on the subject, it is a project that I love very much and it has a very important and personal part. I want to take the time to really get personal and not end it under pressure.

Speaking of the productions that are already consolidated, the film After You was recently released, could you tell us how the film came to you and then what the production experience was like?

It came into my life in an abrupt way, when I was not expecting it. I did the casting on a Friday night and I literally went for a walk in a park and got the call that the character was mine and it started on Monday. They had been filming for days, so I had to join the project. Regarding my experience in production, Toño and Ale are the best, when you work with people who love their work so much, it is very easy, it is something that seems to be given because in theory, acting, directing and producing is the dream of our life , but for many it seems like a job. Fortunately in this production I met pure people who were out of passion and love for their work. It was nice to share this because I act from my heart, so sharing with human beings like that is spectacular.  

Having a passion for what happens behind the camera, how much do you get involved in the technical processes when you are filming, are you curious and do you learn more on set?

The reality is that when I am filming I am on the lookout, sometimes I try to operate a camera, I like to go to video assist to see what the photographer, the director is seeing, I like to understand how things work. But I also understand that my role is to be an actor at that time and I have to be focused on my own. Traditionally I am closer to the crew than to the cast and in general my deepest friendships have been with the camera operators. I really admire their work and they always have a great attitude. It seems to me that many actors should learn a lot from the crew, at the end of the day they carry 15 kilo cameras, put away all their equipment and never complain. That's what I learn the most from them, beyond the technical stuff.

What other projects do you have in your hands that you can tell us a little bit about?  

There is a pair. As materialized, a Netflix movie called Fondeados by Marcos Bucay makes me very happy. In addition to this I am writing, making music and working on myself. Projects will come that make me happy and allow me to build the things I want in this career that I am just beginning.
