Pros loucos que sonham:

10 anos de La La Land, um dos filmes que mais me marcou. Ele ta na minha lista dos filmes da vida (responsa grande… não é qualquer um que consegue entrar nela).

Pra comemorar os 10 anos, o filme voltou a ser exibido nos cinemas. E é claro que eu não poderia perder essa oportunidade. Mesmo já tendo assistido o filme várias vezes, já ter feito projeto de faculdade baseado nele, já ter feito vários pitches pra convencer gente a assistir (ou a odiar menos o filme)… lembrei da sensação de quando assisti com 16 anos. E hoje, aos 26, revendo no cinema, foi como se eu tivesse voltado no tempo e batido um papo com aquele Caio de 16 que já sabia que os sonhos dele eram grandes, e que a vida real não seria tão diferente assim do desfecho de La La Land.

Por falar em viagem no tempo… o throwback de hoje é ainda mais incrível. É de quando conheci La La Land de verdade (obs: La La Land é apelido de Los Angeles). A experiência de ter aula com gente que eu já admirava o trabalho (sempre soube que um dia cruzaria o caminho delas), foi uma virada de chave na minha vida. E, por ironia do destino, 7 anos depois de ter assistido meu filme favorito no cinema, lá estava eu gravando no mesmo lugar onde gravaram, e não tinha sido calculado/especulado por mim antes de começar o curso. Isso pra mim é poesia… a verdade é que o roteirista da minha vida não brinca em serviço.

Esse post não é sobre romantizar sonho como “conto de fadas”. Se você entendeu assim, não entendeu La La Land. Inclusive, me chama no direct que te explico tudo com o maior prazer kkk.

O objetivo aqui é te lembrar de sonhar grande, mesmo sabendo que o caminho raramente é tão bonito quanto nos filmes.

Agora, a resposta que vai definir como eu te vejo: qual é o seu La La Land?
O filme que você se identifica, que nem todo mundo gosta, mas você tem os argumentos na ponta da língua pra defender esse filme.

Ps: Não posso deixar de mencionar @mamaroma05 que fez minha experiência 1000x melhor. Você e sua família são fora da curva. Obrigado por tudo 🫶

Algún día voy a ganar un Óscar.
Y cuando llegue ese momento… prometo dos cosas:
1. seguir soñando igual de grande…
2. llegar mucho mejor vestido 😅

_________

Someday I’m going to win an Oscar.
And when that moment comes… I promise two things:
to keep dreaming just as big as I'm dreaming …
and to show up much better dressed. 🎬🏆

This short was made in 7 days as my final project at @nyfalosangeles .

It’s not perfect.
The emotions don’t hit the way I imagined.
The technique is simple.

But it was never meant to be perfect.

It was a test.
A risk.
A starting point.

Every director has a version 1.
This is mine.

And every version after this will be stronger. 🥊

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who supported this project and believed in me through the process.

The film was selected for the Berlin Lift-Off Film Festival @liftoffglobalnetwork , and it’s now screening online.

If you’d like to watch it and support the journey, the link is in my bio.

Thank you for being part of this beginning. ❤️

A year-ish ago, I finally went to get my Edition 1 Charizard graded by @psacard at the @longbeachexpo. But, plot twist, after buying tickets & making the treck, PSA was not accepting submissions that day. Now that PSA has a new drop-in office in Burbank, I thought it would be fun to revisit this day as I plan out my visit! Even though there wasn’t much info to share from this, it was still a ton of fun showing off my most prized possession, meeting some great collectors (shoutout @pineapplecollectibles🍍), and hanging with fellow nerd @roberttaylorwriterofstuff. #pokemon #charizard #pokemoncard #collectibles

Hay una línea muy delgada entre el arte y la locura. ¿Qué pasa cuando el director pierde el control de su propia obra? 🎬🩸

Próximamente: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Un cortometraje donde la obsesión se convierte en monstruosidad.

(There is a very thin line between art and madness. What happens when a director loses control of his own work? 🎬🩸

Coming soon: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
A short film where obsession turns into monstrosity.)

STUNT Profesional: Caída Desde el Puente 🔥🎬

Los stunts son el corazón invisible del cine.
Caen desde las sombras para que otros brillen en pantalla.

Salto real desde un puente, ejecutado bajo control y con equipo preparado.
No es actuación, no es truco digital: es un stunt 100% real realizado por un profesional.

No intentes replicarlo

See you later, Los Angeles I came, I saw and I conquered — my mark is made and this is only the beginning.

(Hasta luego, Los Ángeles. Llegué, vi y vencí — dejé mi marca, y esto es solo el comienzo.)

Two years ago, I jumped into one of the wildest months of my life. I quit my job on a Friday, hopped in my car on Saturday, and drove 17 hours solo, reached LA, and by Monday, I was starting at NYFA. From there on, no morning alarms needed—my excitement practically threw me out of bed every morning.

I lived the dream—sets, cameras, weekly shoots, and amazing people from around the world. Lifelong friends, legendary teachers, and 30 days of nonstop learning.

Thanks to Sharon for the Burbank stay that felt like home. From Warner Bros tours and fun strolls down Hollywood Boulevard to sunny beach days, Starbucks coffee runs between classes, car karaoke jams, and nonstop chats—it was all pure unforgettable fun!
Bonus joy: my parents and cousins showed up for the movie screening! :)

One month of madness and a lifetime of memories. NYFA, you’ll always have a special place in my heart.

2024 Recap pt.2

Y a mitad de año fui a la ciudad de las imagenes en movimiento y termino por enamorarme. Conoci gente bella y grandiosa en el camino y vivi cosas que el Santiago de 10 años llego a pensar que serian imposibles. Despues de tal experiencia este año con mis amigos y con estas 2 ciudades, Le tengo ansia al misterio que sea el 2025. Pero me siento bendecido y afortunado de vivir y compartir este año con toda la banda que se acomodo en el camino. Gracias y que tengan Feliz año nuevo.

Parenthood is *so* rewarding!!! So proud of my kid and her successful play “Luca Goes to College”. Always so happy to be a mentor at @youngstorytellers. It’s so rewarding and I know the kiddos have SO MUCH FUN! Wish I had stuff like this growing up I would’ve leaned into creativity much sooner.

Thanks for always keeping us in line @roberttaylorwriterofstuff! Haha plz don’t make me do the chicken dance bc I’m clearly about to be late now posting this.😂😂😭

Until next time!📝
