With my sister Bethania, we were very interested in documenting the creative processes and career paths of several aging artists in Ecuador. We filmed a pilot episode for a documentary show that aimed to capture these practices in a way accesible to a young audience.
Of course we started with an episode on the painter closest to home, Jorge Velarde. Unfortunately, there seemed to be little interest on documentaries from Ecuadorian TV stations. Below, you can find the trailer of the TV show, and on this link other old documentary film works.
