WELCOME TO MY INDEPENDENT FILMMAKING WORLD
Allow me to share some insights into my roles as both a Film Director and a Film Teacher, as well as what you can discover here.
HI, I'MĀ FLAVIO
I'm an award-winning film director and film educator, based in Berlin, and originally from Spain.
I've developed this website to showcase all my independent filmmaking adventures: my film projects and crowdfunding initiatives, my Live Workshops in Berlin, and my online courses.
MY STORY
As a shy kid, I spent most of my days lost in my imagination. This often led to drawings of wild creatures and beautiful wonderlands that I would sketch in the pages of a notebook.
My drawing was my outlet, and my introverted nature helped me focus on developing my skills and learning new artistic mediums like clay and paint.
When I was asked to pick a discipline in college, I decided to pursue painting and have never looked back. I look forward to sharing my passion with you and inspiring your creativity to run wild.
WHY DO I TEACH?
My artistic ability is what helped me to dig deep and discover who I am inside. I canā€™t imagine where I would be without this medium.
As I looked at the people in my life struggling to find themselves, I realized that my creativity could inspire others to look inside and discover what makes them truly happy too.
Everyone has an artist inside. Some of us just need a little more help bringing that inner artist to life. To me, watching others create something they never thought possible is the best feeling in the world.
MY VALUES AS A CREATOR AND TEACHER
The Internet is a wild and confusing place, and it's sometimes easy to get lost as a member of the audience or as a creator like myself.
So, let me clarify: I am neither a guru, an influencer, nor a YouTuber, and I have no aspiration to become one.
I've been quite skeptical about social media overall and took a hiatus from it for the past four years.
I recently reactivated my Facebook and Instagram accounts to support my website. However, as an artist, I dislike the "algorithm" and the lack of ownership or control over the data.
If you're keen on keeping up with my activities, such as film projects, workshops in Berlin, and online courses, feel free to visit this site, read my blog, send me an email, sign up for my newsletter, or attend one of my Open Classes when you're in Berlin.
That way, we can communicate directly and build a community, with no intermediaries.
That is my main goal here: to create and produce my film projects, to share, and obviously also to get a life by offering my services and experience as a film teacher and mentor.
All of it, as independently as possible, building a direct relationship between my supporters, my students and myself.Ā
