“Draw for Change: Existimos, Resistimos” has been the first of many in my life. It is my first VR documentary, my first big project after @DocNomads, my first European production. It took me to many incredible places, from Taiwan to New Zealand, it travelled alone to Bogota, Istanbul, Denver, to name a few. But most importantly, it was shown in more than 180 high schools in Belgium, reaching thousands of teenagers and creating insightful discussions about gender equality and violence, art activism, and intersectionality.

To close a virtuous cycle, last May we went to the Cannes Film Festival 2025 invited by @ForumDesImages during a @metoomedia_ charity event exhibiting impactful immersive films that address gender violence. I am grateful and proud. Thank you to all that made this possible. To mis super productoras @eveliendegraef and @hannephlypo of @clindoeilfilms for this opportunity, for your trust, and for teaching me so much to this day. To mi queride @marmarmaremoto for being the heart and soul of this film along with her amazing family. To @bluebirddocs, @cascador, @benutsvfx, @jjimiabidt, @skermwest, @demute.studio @volstok, and @karen.vazquez.guadarrama for oiling the machine to make it work. To @vlaamsaudiovisueelfonds, @flandersimage, @taxshelter.be, @scam_be And last but not least, to my family and friends for your unconditional support.

Hace año y medio comenzó la idea de hacerle un regalo a Caracas para su aniversario 455 junto a @mi_mo_to. Quisimos abrir un espacio que celebrara un tiempo pasado, que honrara la memoria de lugares que ya no existen y que tornara la nostalgia que muchos sentimos, en algo positivo.

Luego de meses de investigar, idear, ensamblar un equipo de colaboradores y de crear juntos, hoy lanzamos la preventa de un libro digno de mi bella ciudad: "CARACAS 455: memorias de una ciudad perdida".

Gracias infinitas a los 28 escritores que levantaron 40 crónicas divertidas, inteligentes, curiosas y sentidas. Y en especial, a los 15 artistas que ilustraron de manera hermosa cada una de las historias. Todos venezolanos, creando dentro y fuera del país. Me honra tenerlos a todos como colaboradores en este libro.

No puedo pensar en un mejor regalo para Caracas.
