CHANGING
THE NARRATIVE
I have started to put together a Project I call Changing The Narrative. It is a series of interviews/talks that will showcase inspiring women who have overcome great obstacles in their life and/or who are fighting for a change (setting the narrative straight!). The objective is to interview around ten women – all with very different backgrounds. The interview/talk will be done through Zoom, recorded and uploaded to my YouTube Channel CHANGING THE NARRATIVE.

SOMETHING WICKED
The talented Tesla Nix has a new song called Something Wicked out, and I directed the music video. I was so happy to be able to bring my good friend and amazing photographer/editor Monika Frias on this project to work her magic. The images are stunning and the editing is coming together beautifully. I can’t wait for Tesla Nix to release this video.

THE PILL IS
OFFICIALLY FINISHED
The film is done!! It has been 7 intense months of hard work and a crazy amount of Zoom calls, but we are finally here. We finished our first Mastermind Production film through a Facebook group, during a pandemic, with the collaboration of 9 different countries across the globe. It’s quite an accomplishment, and I am very happy and proud to now enter the festival circuit with THE PILL.

THE SHOOT
This weekend we shot THE PILL!!! I could not have wished for a more smooth and successful shooting. I am thrilled and honoured to have such a hard working crew and cast. We did more than 30 set-ups a day! We were so fortunate to have experienced and talented Director of Photography Eric Oh and Gaffer Adrià Velasco. Actresses Miriam Marcet, Sanna Toivanen and Tina Jawidan did an amazing job. Also, very thankful to have my faithful 1st AD Massimo Perego by my side, keeping the whole shoot under control.

LET’S MAKE A MOVIE
A while ago I thought, is this really it? So, we are not going to make films because of a pandemic? It can’t be!
In the The Entertainment Industry MASTERMIND GROUP I pitched my short film “The Pill” (working title) to the group and suggested that we did this film as a “100% remotely-done-project” taking advantage of the current world situation and bringing people from all other world together in one project. So I am thrilled and happy to announce that we already had our first producer’s meeting and writer’s meeting with a 2nd draft on the table already.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IN YOUR QUARENTINE?
I joined a random Facebook group that ended up being a game changer for me. I had no idea that within a month I would win a competition, have a mentoring session with these two amazing ladies Tina Imahara - Film Editor, Mentor & Consultant and Kimberley Browning, creating contacts all over the world with amazing filmmakers and industry people, getting the opportunity to listen, learn and speak directly to professionals of the Hollywood industry such as producer/writer/editor Kevin Lee Miller, producer Kara Welker, acting and directing coach Mark W. Travis, actor Rick Overton and many more.
I cannot recommend enough to get involved and join this group (actually two – the mastermind group is a separate Private FB Group, offering additional support through Peer to Peer Mentoring Sub-Groups) administrated and created by the amazingly hard-working, talented and generous Tina Imahara.

Celebrating with a big party, the fact that Dones Visuals was recently awarded with the fine prize “Premis Ciutat de Barcelona” (The prize of the city of Barcelona).

Pitcing event and
one-to-one meetings
Pitching event and one-to-one meetings with industry professionals at the CCCB Theater. Here I presented my project Las mujeres también se tiran pedos (Women Fart Too), a short film based on an anecdote by Danish author Marie Louise Tüxen. I met two amazing female producers with whom I am now further developing the project. Hopefully, soon I will be able to explain more about this project.
ACCIÓCURTS was all together a great experience which I got to share with 11 other talented female directors.

ACCIÓCURTS
WORKSHOP
12 women (myself included) and their film projects were selected for the third edition ACCIÓCURTS organized by Dones Visuals. We started out by receiving a most interesting and eye-opening master class in film history from a feminist point of view… or maybe I should say film history from a realistic point of view. Too many female film directors have simply been ignored and forgotten. How many people know that the first director in making a narrative fiction film was French woman Alice Guy-Blaché?
The next day we continued the with workshop in pitching and project consulting with the amazing Mercedes Martinez-Abarca a film industry program manager and adviser (International Film Festival Rotterdam, Abycine Albacete International Film Festival and Gijón International Film Festival).

NACÍ ASÍ SHOOTING
The 3 day intense shooting of my short film Nací Así is over. I am so excited to see the end result. The shoot was not without its challenges, but all in all it went really well and we finished right on schedule. We had an amazing crew and cast who all contributed to making the shoot smooth, fun and professional. Being on set is probably my favorite part of the entire process of filmmaking. It feels magical. You see how all your ideas and thoughts you had in your head come alive in front of you. It’s usually very intense and mixed with all sorts of feelings like stress, fear, joy, and if all goes well: relief.

PORN WORKSHOP
On Friday the 1st of June 2018 at 8 pm in t.i.c.t.a.c. there will be a presentation of the short film made during the first workshop “Introduction to the new Cine X of adult cinema” taught by Sally Fenaux Barleycorn. I helped out with the camera at the shoot, as many of the students had little or no experience with a camera. They worked in groups of two or three people and would each prepare a couple of shots they would storyboards and eventually film. This type of new pornografic cinemas has an important philosophy that focuses on respecting and giving dignity to everyone involved in the making of it.

THE SPANISH CONNECTION – SHOOTING
This was one of those really crazy and fun projects, that started out with a Danish actor coming to Barcelona with an idea and his small handycam, but then developed into a full blown professional film shot on the RED Weapon with the most amazing crew and cast. I was the assistant director to actor/director Eigil Hedegaard. We are all extremely excited to see the finished film.
