Here I need to do a small parenthesis to link it withanother story I’ll tell you about in a few pages: By the beginning of 2011, a fewdays before my first day of Uni, I went to an audition for a TV Commercial. Ihad to say a few words about myself, so I said that in a week’s time I wasstarting dramatic arts classes, and told her the name of the place. The newProduction Assistant, Margarita, told me she was going to start in that schooltoo. A week later we ran into each other and we sat together in class. When theclass was over, whilst I was waiting for my dad to pick me up, we joined hersister Verónica and her group. Vero was in second year. With time, I ended upconnecting more with Vero and her class than with Margarita and mine.

As I was telling you: In 2011, first year of Uni -mythird year of dramatic arts altogether- I also started rehearsals with the TheatreCompany. It was completely different and more competitive, sometimes evenhostile. But like in any industry, there are some really mean people as theyare the most amazing people ever. Part of the job. It was an amazingexperience, unforgettable and unique. I learnt so much, it was my firstprofesional gig, yay! We rehearsed dancing, singing and acting. We had a seasonof six weeks, and after that, a lot of shows for school students throughout theyear. Each single show was different from the other. I also realized thatacting in front of teenagers was a real challenge, because you have to performin such way to amaze and keep three hundreds young boys and girls -full of hormonesand insecurities- quiet and interested, watching a two-hours-long musical.

In april 2011, I took a one-month acting workshop facilitatedby a famous paraguayan actor, whom I met when I was an extra for a few days onhis show. We were eight students, between them I met Celeste. Honestly I don’tremember who else was taking this class. With Celeste we exchanged contactdetails and kept the other up to speed if one had to skip a day or was late.When the workshop finished, we lost touch.

At the same time, I was acting in independent filmprojects. I started getting Thiago involved in the acting world too, he went toclasses and auditions with me. One day Margarita called me with an audition forhim for the 2011 American Cup. Thiago and his twin, Máximo, were cast for thisbig 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 middleof winter. I enjoyed each single day, I was happy and with all the energy throughoutthe whole shoot. I was in Paradise.

Besides, that TVc was produced by the best Production Companyin 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 June2011, that’s when I started to think I’d like to study Films and TV once I graduatefrom acting school…

What I am going to tell you now is one of the craziestand 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...
