Escribir Historias reales, Escribir ficción. Producirlas para la cámara
Paraphrasing the Colombian Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez in "Vivir para contarlo" (Living to Tell the Tale), I identify with the fact that the basis of fiction is reality. I like to know and tell the second, give it a rest and rewrite the first.
I love television production. I know many of its secrets and charms. I know about journalistic coverage, how to tell stories, what is needed to make it attractive, coherent and of great interest to the viewer.
I am always calm, especially in moments of maximum stress.
Listening, understanding, suggesting and coordinating are verbs that I love and know how to conjugate.
