QUESTION#1: What about your film excites you the most?: What excites me the most is sharing it with people. I want to showcase my culture and the real life situations that exist within it, moments that are often overlooked or misunderstood.
I’m also excited about the performances. I worked with both non actors and trained actors kids and adults in this film and the way the understood the characters made me really happy.
I'm also exited about the locations and the way they were designed and decorated, as they are deeply tied to the story itself. The story is inspired by my dad’s childhood but it also includes moments of my own like milking the cows. I also have the support of my family while shooting this so being able to see how they helped me bring my vision to life was such a blessing.

QUESTION#2: What is it about your current movie that will influence your next film?: This film has taught me to trust simplicity and emotional honesty. Moving forward, I want to continue exploring grounded stories rooted in observation and real life. I hope to keep sharing stories from my country, México, our struggles, our warmth, the way we remain deeply united, and the colors that define and represent us.

QUESTION#3: When you’re shooting a film, do you think of time as something you capture or something you construct?: .I think of time as something that is both captured and constructed. I capture time through real performances and spontaneous moments, and I construct it through framing, pacing, and editing. The balance between the two is where the emotional rhythm of the film is created.

QUESTION#4: What’s a limitation you wish you had on your next shoot that would force you into making interesting creative decisions?: I would like to work with fewer locations, which would push me to be more intentional with blocking and staging. Having that limitation would encourage me to explore movement, performance, and framing more deeply within a single space, allowing the emotional moments to feel more focused and deliberate.

QUESTION#5: If a film shoot is like a living organism, which department do you think functions as its nervous system?: I believe the director and the actors together function as the nervous system. The emotional signals start with performance and direction, and those signals ripple through every other department, influencing tone, energy, and decision making across the entire set. That said, every department is essential to the shooting process, creating the world of the film.
