My birthday

Today is my birthday, and it entered with tons of works (it's 2:36 am and still working on the editing suite). VIFF 2006 is here and that's exciting news. I really really want to see Pedro Almodovar's Volver, but I don't know if I can make it :OS. For some reason I think the Opening Gala will be full before I can even buy a ticket.

Once again, a lot of movies to watch in so little time. This year I am working even more than last year. Which is a little bit annoying... but I had to put food over my humble table.
I saw the new Chabrol's film I think it was good but the ending was a little bit dissapointing. The Riddle was a great and fun movie to watch! highly recommended.

Mark agreed to work with me on the production company and that's a relief! but I really don't know if he really enjoy the job. Hopefully he will come back for the next work. Still I am worried. I was his camera assistant years ago. Great guy and definetly a great DOP.

Itinerante Productions Inc. started this year in Vancouver and already has clients, that's a good sign and good enough for now. El Kiosko is poorer but it is still too early. It is like a child for me, so forget it IT IS NOT COMING DOWN! A few years ago when I was driving my car and thinking over a beautiful brigde in Monterrey city (on my way home) I realize I had to study film and keep going with my life. Last year, I was driving over the same brigde with my very same car and thinking exactly the same, obviously the conclution was still the same... if I ever get sick or old there is no other way: I'll just keep walking, just keep going... I'll go as far as I can.

I am getting really sick because of all the work. But doesn't matter... I have to keep going. VIFF is here and at least I can enjoy watching movies and work to make a living on what I love.
