I stole this picture from a friend of mine because this symbolizes one of the most unforgettable travels that I had done. My friend took this picture last year, in Valdivia, but it’s important to me because I was right there in 2009; living something that was like a movie; one of those movies that makes you believe that dreams can come true. This is the story:
It was on October, 2009 and was in the week of the film festival of Valdivia. I went there just for watch the last movie of my favorite film maker, someone who is really like an idol to me; and because he was going to be there to present his film “Excursiones”. His name is Ezequiel Acuña and he’s an Argentinean film maker; and during that year we were talking by chat and sending emails, so we were something like friends. So I though “I can’t lost the opportunity to meet him”

I went to Valdivia, alone, just for watch the movie and see him, but things were much better. At the end of the movie, I decided to overcome my shyness and I went to talk him and that was a very good decision because he, after say hello to me of a very friendly way, walked with me for the riverside. And then we sit around there, eating cookies and talking about music, movies and books, watching how the night was reflected in the river…
And that’s why this picture is so important to me, because it makes me remember about that incredible day in the film festival, living my own movie.
Wow! That sounds like an awsome experience. Meeting a director you like plus having a chat with him. Something else! What was the film like?
