How long have you been in entertainment and screenplay writing?

It ‘all began nearly a decade ago.  At that time I acted  on theater and I was writing my lyrics firsthand, then by chance I have been contacted by someone who had heard of me, and they asked me to write what has been my first screenplay.

 

How do you define the role of a screenplay writer?

A good screenwriter works in the same way as would a musician with a musical score.  Very often when a movie works well it is thanks in large part of a good script.  The screenwriter in fact, has a very important role; in addition to writing the story to be turned into a movie, he has to create a structure and get a good result.  It takes a lot of technique.

Sometimes one is led to believe that writing a novel and writing a screenplay is something very similar, but it does not.  When I write a book, I put it in the field above all  the creativity.  In the screenwriter, instead, it takes a lot of planning.  They are two very different ways of working.

 

Of the projects you’ve worked on to date, could you please tell us which projects were highlights for you?

The biggest highlights for me was when I was contacted by an Asian filmmaker who has made me a proposal of collaboration.  I was very surprised and very happy because I had never considered this possibility.

 

If you could have written one film from any movie in cinema history, what film would you love to tackle?

If I could, I would love to write a martial arts movie, full of action and with a very strong moral.

 

Could you name some of your favourite actors and actresses of all time, and why they inspire you?

My favorite actresses are Renee Zellweger, Amy Adams, Anna Faris, Emma Stone, whom I have always loved because I think she is one of the most talented actresses of the cinema, and Juliet Landau, because in my opinion, she is really awesome.

My favorite actors are Jim Carrey, who although often he is called upon to interpret comic roles, I appreciate him very much also as a dramatic actor by the impressive talent, Ryan Gosling and Matthew Goode.

Also, Tony Jaa Because he is a really great and expressive actor, and a very good martial artist.  I have seen his movies dozens of times! Another actor That I really like is Ralph Macchio I’d love to act in a movie with them.

 

What are some of your favourite films of all time and why?

My favorite films are: Lalaland  and The Notebook. I also really like “Down whit love” and “Man on the moon” where Jim Carrey plays masterfully Andy Kaufman.

 

If someone was going to make your life into a movie, who would play you?

It is very difficult to answer this question: I wish it was someone who knows me well, so that it can best interpret every nuance of my personality.

 

In this industry, popularity can be important, but also fickle – so far what are you experiences so far with this?

Yes, it is true, in this industry popularity can be important but Also fickle.  I think the best way to perform this work is always to remain true to ourselves and remember that before being artists, we are human beings with our needs, so even keeping the focus on the work, we do not we must never forget that friends and family are always the most important thing we have.

In my conception of popularity, it is a good thing only if it serves to make life better people, through the stories we write and the films we make.

For now, I’m not famous.  If people appreciate my work, I’m happy.  The important thing is this, not fame.

 

What would you like to achieve in cinema going forward in your career?

My main goal right now is to continue to write as I am doing, and I’d like to act in a fantasy movie, or action movies.  I’d also like to act a very special character, and get involved in so many different roles.  In this field there is always a lot to explore, and I have so much more to achieve.

 

Do you enjoy international films, and do you have any favourites?

Yes, I really like the international films, above all Thai movies, Korean and Indian.  I have enjoyed “Ghost of Mae Nak“, an Indonesian movie, and I really like “Merentau“, played by the excellent Iko Uwais.  I also appreciate the Mexican movies.

 

Who is the dream director you’d like to work with one day?

I would love to work with Tim Burton, because he is a director absolutely ingenious and imaginative, and it would be very fun to play one of his strange characters, and Zhang Yimou, because he is one of the most important filmmakers of the fifth generation.

 

Are you currently working on any projects?

Currently, I am working on a project that, superstitiously, it’s top secret.  I can only say that this project has Involved also a group of musicians.  Besides that, I’m working on new exciting projects including the screenplay for a movie about a martial arts champion who fights to help the children of an orphanage.

 

Can you identify what you feel are your strengths and weaknesses?

My weaknesses are perfectionism and dissatisfaction that comes when I am convinced that one could do better.
My strengths are always believe in myself, and go ahead with tenacity, working hard.  I believe that the sacrifices and the efforts that you put into a job are always rewarded.  The most important thing is to have their own goals always clear.

 

Do you feel that anything is missing from the film and TV industry today?

I believe that the quality standards currently are improved, however you have to constantly churn out new ideas in order don’t be repetitive or discounted.
