The Project Begins...

Now that my Peruvian fairytale, LUCIR Y SOMBRA is finally finished I must close its chapter and move on to the next: THE SILENT STEPPE CANTATA, a documentary.
This will be my first full-length, 'serious' documentary. I feel really excited about it, probably because it's going to be many firsts, for both my camera and I. But only one of us will retain them and be able to accurately share them over and over again.
That's what I love about documentary; when you feel the pure sincerity of knowledge filling your brain and bursting with curiosity.

My mind keeps debating on what level of personal I should stay on. As a voyeur, I would prefer to watch someone in their most personal moments , but as a vulnerable artist, I just don't know if I can share all that.

I guess I'm speaking in riddles, because I just can't decide whether I should document absolutely everything, like meeting my boyfriend's parents for the first time and getting to know where he grew up or if I should just stick to the Cantata and the music collaboration. I'm leaning towards the first choice...
