A satire that bears the imprint of its author
chatting with telamthe actor has told the details of the series since this Wednesday is available to stream.
What was it like playing the role of screenwriter?
-It started in 2018, from an idea we had with Mariano Marquevic, who is my friend and my partner in a production company we have together, which we didn’t have yet at that time. I had already produced other things, but I had never written per se, in fact I dedicated myself more to finding certain projects that I liked and I got more involved in the purely creative side of the production.
-The film satirises this moment in which the artist’s craft is influenced by technology and networks. Why did you choose this approach?
-History has a lot of things that happened to me during my career and this has also happened to many of my friends, where this image of the tightrope walker is always present. There walking in the middle of nowherea precipice on both sides, and one runs along the rope trying to keep one’s balance a very unstable profession.
“I was lucky enough to have to work non-stop for many years, but the truth is that I know many people who have been very good and it has been very difficult for them to live off this. In particular, then, Talk a little about that B side and this mix with current events and technology where anything can dress you”Explain.
-Have you ever thought that the medium cares more about the media persona that could be built than the good actor that you could be?
-The truth is that it is a sector like any other, but it has something more cruel; In other words, it’s an industry where you basically have to invoice because it’s still a business, and that’s where the artistic is often hanging by a thread and the number is ahead of everything and it’s not that simple.
-What is fame for you?
-It’s something that accompanies you, that doesn’t belong to you to some extent, but is more than the others, because it’s a construction of the other. You may think one thing, but from the outside you see another totally different one and it is more or less exalted according to the moment you are living. I had to experiment with very successful projects, such as Ugly duckling Y Graduates… I could not walk on the street. And then I had years where nothing happened and he was much calmer.
“Being famous isn’t that good, it’s only good for its achievements or for the doors that open more easily for you around it, but not in itself, it’s not what matters, it’s not interesting,” she says.
-You have several experiences in other roles than just an interpreter. What you’re missing?
-I would like to continue to grow on this side more as a creative producer, continue to create projects; I really like to see how a whole process plays out. My idea is that I can even direct at some point.
