About me:

I was born in Paraguay under a military dictatorship. I didn't realize that it was a strange way to grow-up because I had never experienced anything different. One day to my surprised I saw an article about Paraguay, finally I had an idea as to how my world was viewed by people outside of my country. That day I understood the power of images and how they could change a person’s perspective of the world and of themselfs. I hope that my videos will achieve the same positive effect for someone.

What excites you about the The Possible Futures Film Contest? What's the most provocative aspect for you?

The most amazing part of this contest its the great challenge it poses to us. Instead of having a contest to document the problems with the world, posible futures is all about having dreaming up solutions. A contest to unleash the creativity of the individual for the benefit of the collective human spirit and the world we live in.

Where do you find inspiration? What (or who) gives you hope?

My inspiration is people I have meet in my day to day, the simple people that are working hard to make the world a better day, in small but humble ways. People that don't get reconize with nobel prizes, but are making this world a better place daily.

How have stories shaped your life? What story does the world need to tell to shape a just and sustainable life?
