A que sabe ser yo? | 2025
film educator / production designer Program: Casas Colombia (Colombian Embassy) Film Production: Monokuko Film Produktion Festival Screening: TORRENTE - Territorio Gozoso de la Diáspora Commissioned by the Embassy of Colombia in Berlin (under it's 2025 program "Casas Colombia) this fictional short film was entirely conceived, designed, and produced from the ground up by our creative team and a group of local youth aged 12–17. Working with a micro-budget, I served as the workshop leader for the art department, mentoring the teenage participants through the entire creative pipeline (starting with a little film theory, all the way through to the execution of their first short film). All within a condensed timeline of just four workshop days spread out over three weeks. And in the end, their hard work culminated in a festival premiere -- at "TORRENTE - Territorio Gozoso de la Diáspora," the program's official closing art and culture festival. |
