All my life I have had a strong passion for documentary films - I really enjoy watching them. One of my dreams has always been to do a course which will help me to show how I see the world.
The Documentary Practice MA at Brunel gave me the chance to meet and learn from really great filmmakers. The classes helped me to develop my skills as a camera person, editor, sound person, and filmmaker, and also to design my own website. Thanks to my tutor, I have been able to carry out my final documentary, which let me to connect and sympathise with very different people especially those who took part in my documentary and who have become in my friends. But the most important thing is that thanks to this experience I have learnt to have self-reliance.
I hear with my eyes was my final project, a documentary about synesthesia, a perception disorder in which the barriers between the senses dissolve, resulting in people seeing words, tasting shapes or smelling sounds.
My documentary has been broadcasted in Spain by Tv3 (Televisió de Catalunya), and it is going to be distributed in North America to the educational market by Films Media Group.
