HOW DOES THE A SILENT NARRATION ALLOWS OTHER VOICES TO BE HEARD?

Short video about the memory of October 18th & 19th, when the social outburst started in Chile and I decided to go dancing in Amsterdam. The video introduces a poem in the medium of WhatsApp, what became my primary source for updates throughout the social revolution while being outside of the country. It also presents music by djs that were playing that weekend for the ADE festival and sounds from clips of police brutality and protests.

*INCLUDES SOUNDS OF VIOLENCE

HOW DOES THE VOICE GIVES SHAPE AND RHYTHM TO A STORY?

Based on a short sci-fi story by Carmen Maria Machado called ‘Inventory’, this narration piece was presented for PUB Radio. It is an exploration of voice and storytelling. How does the voice of non native English speakers give shape to a story in English?

Collaboration with Violeta Paez and Constanza Castagnet.

*INCLUDES SEXUAL LANGUAGE AND REFERENCES TO A VIRUS

HOW DOES MEMORY REAPPEAR IN TELLING ANOTHER WHAT HAPPENED?

A script for a movie I don’t know if I’ll be able to produce. Through the narration of an earthquake, exploring the dynamics of mother-daughter relationship and coming-of-age of a teenager in Chile. Work in progress.
