the technology only makes me useless

While it is true that we are in a technological age, I feel that it takes some things away and it gives us others. On the one hand it helps us to simplify life: we can find tutorials of all kinds, do everything, watch everything, whatever; but but every day makes us lazy we do not know how to do even half the things that humans did before: Identify plants or trees, visit your friends or neighbors.

Saves us paperwork and time like paying bills but, everything is more distant, the relationship between people are colder and more artificial, everyone is worried about the image they project on facebook, instagram or whatsapp. That bothers me, but even more angering me to be part of it and not being able to stay on the sidelines since society is governed by that: teachers communicate by email, my friends use whatsapp but they do not talk to me among others.

I think I still have to get used to it, since technology is growing and there is nothing left to grow with it.

Why did I choose this career?

I chose this career because I have always liked movies, but I never saw “cinema” as a career but as a hobby.
When I studied nursing, I realized that medicine was not my thing, neither mathematics nor chemistry.  I mean all the electives of the school were in vain and I realized that I liked the art and all its forms, art is the best legacy we can leave as heritage and can be used to improve society. Then I remembered that I love watching movies, especially those of independent cinema, but I watch all genres.

Once I graduate my plan is to start rural film schools for girls and boys, in the south of the country.  Being from the south it bothers me the centralization of the cinema in Chile and I feel that this would be a way to combat this since all people have stories to tell, not just the “Santiaguinos”
