The Pandemic Phases

As a civil engineer, Gabriel wasn't satisfied to work in the area. Every Monday morning was a recall of his dissatisfaction. But that difficulty was the fuel to seek something new.
With a new mindset, Gabriel reevaluates a conformist vision
that the job was all about choosing between one of those more traditional professions.
He realized that he could work with what he really liked.
It didn't take long to remember his adolescence with his older brother, student of communication, when both they watched several films, went to art shows and museums.
As a child, he would set up scenes with his toys and found himself imagining much of the day. His first “documentaries” were produced when he took his father's VHS camera and filmed his friends doing nonsense things as a "Jackass" tribute.
With eyes open to new experiences and attentive ears to different stories, Gabriel's imagination was fueled to be a filmmaker.
Nowadays there isn't any single Monday where Gabriel doesn't imagine what is going to be his next project.
