mexico thanks
As a city, it is always compelling. But every day in Mexico City, I give thanks that I am alive.
came surrender
'Birdman' came from a very beautiful side of me, from a part of honesty and surrender about things.
develop freedom
Freedom comes with a lot of responsibility. When you are by yourself, you have to develop a third eye.
editing lives open talk time
From the time we open our eyes, we live in a Steadicam form, and the only editing is when we talk about our lives or remember things.
define life point
I define myself from a vision, from a point of view of life.

I have always said that innocence is much more powerful than experience.

I began to learn about the camera and the actors. That gave me a lot of the skills. At the same time, advertising gives you a lot of vices, for example, an obsession for a superficial look, but at the same time, it gives you the capacity to synthesize the story - tell a story in one minute.

shoot terrify
I'm scared of horses, and I don't know how to shoot them, but that's what excites me. After 40 years old, if you don't do some things that really terrify you, I don't think they're worth doing.
complex found mexico
Really, Mexico City has always been this big, complex monster of a city that has always had real problems and needs, and I've always found my way through it in different ways.
