Did a small section of "El Camino de Santiago" with my nephews, my brother and my girlfriend. Not for the certification but for the experience. Only did 40km in 3 days but what a spiritual high. Might do it in the future again. Defintely recommend!

Normally January-March are busy months for me but this year I think I broke my own record. 😅
These past 3 months I edited the dialogue of:
2 feature films.
3 episodes for an Amazon series.
With a bit of sleep deficit but happy about being part of such great projects! 👊🏼

The normalization of AI, the rise of people using phones in theaters, the advent of influencers over writers all stems from the same anti-art mentality. The commodification of creativity to the point that people feel entitled to steal from artists to create soulless AI slop.

Here’s another great film I’ve been quietly advocating behind-the-scenes for with Warner Bros. for a few years, and I’m VERY pleased to reveal that it’s finally coming to #4K #UltraHD in the months ahead: Stanley Kubrick’s BARRY LYNDON (1975)! Can’t wait! @thedigitalbits.bsky.social #physicalmedia

I'm very worried lately that if fascism is tolerated, normalized and institutionalized in the US, it will then spread to México and the rest of America.
We had fascism in America in the 70s and 80s under Pinochet and it wasn't pretty. Just ask Chileans...

Memory of a Snail is itself a piece of kintsugi art in that the film breaks you in a million pieces only to put you back together at the end. Leaving behind, laquered in the memory of it's audiences, precious golden traces to forever remind us that we witnessed Grace's and Gilbert's tale.

Listen for instance to this 2021 mix of Across the Universe;
Its characteristic flangery-saturation on the vocals is completely lost. It's a totally different texture. It now sounds like a song produced in...well 2021 and not 1970.
