<p>It went on like this: Do you remember the great soap opera actor Arnaldo André? The one from the beginning of this book, my dad’s favourite actor? -Remember how seeing his romantic gesture on the show, my dad then decided to visit Paraguay?- Well he was an actor my siblings and I really enjoyed watching too. One day, I don’t even remember where from, I received the information that Arnaldo was going to direct his biopic in Paraguay the following year, that a man named Marcos was going to produce it locally.</p> <p>To me, it would be a great opportunity to meet a great actor from the Argentinian Film & TV Industry, so I found out where Marcos worked, he was the owner of a small Production Company. I got his contact details and called every single day for two weeks straight, -The answer was always the same- “He is away”. After trying him for two weeks, I thought maybe it was a mistake, that there would be no movie or that he wasn’t going to work on it. </p> <p>I gave up, I stopped researching about it, I stopped trying to find Marcos or to even think about the film anymore. A few days later, I was reading the Sunday Magazine, when I came across a full-page interview about a paraguayan filmmaker who was overseas directing a shortfilm. Can you believe the interviewe was to this Marcos guy I was looking for so much? Thanks to the article I was able get his full name and to confirm he was actually a Film Director. Of course he was away, he was in LA making a film. Neat!</p> <p>I ran to my <em>Facebook </em>to look him up, I befriended him and sent him a direct message. With all my breeziness and bravery, I introduced myself telling him I was studying dramatic arts and that I was fluent in English. I told him I’d love to act on his next project. He got back to me instantly. He was very nice to me, and told me he was away for two more weeks. He asked me to please take my resumé to his office, he’d call me as soon as he was back and had a chance to look at it. </p> <p>Exactly two weeks later, the 23rd of August, 2011 -I remember it exactly because it was my dad’s birthday- we were getting ready for the family <em>asado </em>-argentinian style barbecue-, when my phone rung. On the other side of the line, a producer named Laura introduced herself, she was calling on Marcos’ behalf. I couldn’t believe he actually came back and looked at my resumé as he said he would. She told me they went through it together and that he asked for me, they had a proposal. We arranged to meet the following morning to discuss it further.</p> <p>I met with Laura, she told me Marcos was opening a new Production Company, she also told me about the LA shortfilm. Marcos hired her as the Line Producer and she needed help with the upcoming productions. She said that Marcos liked my profile and he wasn’t sure what role I was after -acting or crewing-, but that they really needed a hand as crew. I was completely honest, I told her I was studying to be an actress and that I loved what I did. I also told her I was thinking of crewing one day, but that I had zero experience as Crew.</p> <p>She thought that was great. She told me that with my experience on set as an actress I knew the gist already, and that they were looking for someone with my eagerness and spirit. I was inexperienced, so I couldn’t get straight into my duties. She offered me to do a three-months unpaid internship -expenses paid only-, where they’d teach me everything I needed for the job, they’d get me ready. By the end of those three months, if we both wanted to continue, they’d hire me full-time. She was also interviewing a couple of girls that afternoon, then, meeting with Marcos that evening to choose the right candidate. Two days later they called me, I got the job. I was starting the following Monday…</p> <p>Did you see what happened there? Crazy, huh? And to think that all started with a piece of misinformation that I don’t even know where I got it from, just after that shooting week where I started considering to work behind the cameras...</p>

<p>Here I need to do a small parenthesis to link it with another story I’ll tell you about in a few pages: By the beginning of 2011, a few days before my first day of Uni, I went to an audition for a TV Commercial. I had to say a few words about myself, so I said that in a week’s time I was starting dramatic arts classes, and told her the name of the place. The new Production Assistant, Margarita, told me she was going to start in that school too. A week later we ran into each other and we sat together in class. When the class was over, whilst I was waiting for my dad to pick me up, we joined her sister Verónica and her group. Vero was in second year. With time, I ended up connecting more with Vero and her class than with Margarita and mine.</p> <p>As I was telling you: In 2011, first year of Uni -my third year of dramatic arts altogether- I also started rehearsals with the Theatre Company. It was completely different and more competitive, sometimes even hostile. But like in any industry, there are some really mean people as they are the most amazing people ever. Part of the job. It was an amazing experience, unforgettable and unique. I learnt so much, it was my first profesional gig, yay! We rehearsed dancing, singing and acting. We had a season of six weeks, and after that, a lot of shows for school students throughout the year. Each single show was different from the other. I also realized that acting in front of teenagers was a real challenge, because you have to perform in such way to amaze and keep three hundreds young boys and girls -full of hormones and insecurities- quiet and interested, watching a two-hours-long musical.</p> <p>In april 2011, I took a one-month acting workshop facilitated by a famous paraguayan actor, whom I met when I was an extra for a few days on his show. We were eight students, between them I met Celeste. Honestly I don’t remember who else was taking this class. With Celeste we exchanged contact details and kept the other up to speed if one had to skip a day or was late. When the workshop finished, we lost touch.</p> <p>At the same time, I was acting in independent film projects. I started getting Thiago involved in the acting world too, he went to classes and auditions with me. One day Margarita called me with an audition for him for the 2011 American Cup. Thiago and his twin, Máximo, were cast for this big TVc. It was a hectic week of long daily shoots, where I -of course- accompanied them. Some where exterior night shoots until sunrise in the middle of winter. I enjoyed each single day, I was happy and with all the energy throughout the whole shoot. I was in Paradise.</p> <p>Besides, that TVc was produced by the best Production Company in the country and with the best Director of Photography. The vibes were great. During that crazy week, crewing started to call my attention. This was in June 2011, that’s when I started to think I’d like to study Films and TV once I graduate from acting school…</p> <p>What I am going to tell you now is one of the craziest and most influential causalities of my life. The one it blows my mind the most. Since I linked these factors, that turned out to be magical and understood how crazy and causally life is, the saying “everything happens for a reason” became my motto...</p>
