I started working at La Casita while I was studying filmmaking at the Instituto del Cine Madrid. I’d go to school in the mornings and teach in the afternoons. I quickly realised that I loved teaching at Casita, but I still wanted to pursue a career in the audiovisual sector. Towards the end of my first year with La Casita, Alex and Marina asked me if, when I finished my studies, I wanted to start making videos for La Casita (promocional videos, tutorials, etc.), in addition to teaching in the evenings. They’re really receptive to my suggestions with regards to videos and I have a lot of room to be creative. They’ve even provided editing and lighting courses. Plus, I’m filming or editing so often that I’ve been pushed to quickly learn and improve in both areas, something I really value and know will help me a lot in the future. Now, I have a job that combines my two passions, working with children and filmmaking, which isn’t bad for what I initially thought of as just a part time job to help fund my studies!
