Your past is what happened to you, but the future is how you interpret it and use it to create the narrative of your life. I could say my mother left me when I was […]

Our digital selves
This video is a cathartic experiment that explores the narcissistic relationship we’ve developed with our phones, in the hope that by being aware of it, we figure out a way to make things better, or at least produce content that brings out the best in people.

On Fear of Success
Ideas. Projects. Dreams. We all have them, but we seldom pursue them to their fullest extent. Blame it on time. Blame it on money. Blame it on someone else. The real blame will only be on you. Perhaps you are afraid of success, like I was. This is my story.

The Future: What if we were brave enough to care?
What’s happening to the world? Where are we headed? I had never felt so concerned in regards to the current state of the planet, specially when it comes to politics: I don’t understand how this became […]
