Experiencing Interruptions?

Laura in between

When Laura starts talking about her real feelings, the magic begins to appear. She lives her routine at home, and it may seem that she doesn't care about who she is more than about her daily tasks and situations. But deep inside, Laura cares. Still, she doesn't even know until one of her multiple work calls takes her to a whole new place.

This creative work is very personal as a writer, a director, and an actress. I present a self-portrait extensible to anyone that strives to find themselves somewhere, just changing some of the pieces. It's a game, like life itself, where many feelings and situations come together, sometimes even erratically—humor, anger, anxiety, relief, playfulness. However, when you eventually find yourself, you might need to repeat the process repeatedly because it never stops when growth is real.

Director Statement

All the stories are real.

Those we are told, those we read, and those we see in the movies.

The told life is real life, the one we imagine or dream.

And today, we need to put the narrative for women on top of that.

Many of the stories that we come across throughout our lives represent our fears and hopes.

Listening is essential to growing as people, to enjoy living, and to be happy.

If we listen, we are wiser, and we are more attentive; thus, we live more intensely.

In each story, there are small parts of each listener's life.

I want to be told stories, and I also want to create them.

We are all creators because we all need to build something to be part of the flow of life.

Listen, create, breathe, live. Be you.
