The Peruvian faces are completely different from that faces in Argentina and in Brazil. |
My father was a diplomat for part of his life and I jumped from country to country and culture to culture. |
So I feel a responsibility to help first-time film-makers in Brazil, but also to increase the dialogue between film cultures which are really wonderful and so much closer to us than what we do see on our screens. |
I did documentaries for maybe 10 years before I turned to fiction films. |
I'm much more interested in living specific experiences in films. |
But I also think that the more you reason collectively about what the project should be at the beginning of the process, the more you can improvise later. |
