Who I am?


Hello everyone! I'm Rodrigo López Jiménez, I am a nineteenth year old boy who's a film student.

I live right now in the south of Chile, specifically in Bulnes, a small town near from Chillan, the city of "sausages". I say "right now" because originally I was born in Venezuela. I lived sixteen years in my native country, I grew up in San Diego, which is a small city that is near to one of the biggest cities in Venezuela, which is Valencia. Three years ago, my family decided to migrate to Chile, with the intentions of finding a better life. That was a big change to me and my family, because migrating to another country is something that changes your whole life.


In Venezuela, I grew up in San Diego, the small urban city that I mentioned. However, it isn’t that small, because it has everything to have fun with and realize as a person: parks, colleges, universities, restaurants, pubs, cinemas, etc. Also in San Diego I made very close friendships and studied until half of my high school education. In 2018 I migrated to Chile, with my brother and mother. My father could not come with us and he still lives in Venezuela, and we expect that someday he will finally come. I first lived in Valdivia when I arrived in Chile, that was the city where I finished my high school education and where I made a lot of friends who helped me adapt to this country. In 2020, before the pandemic started, my family decided to move to the actual city where I'm living: Bulnes. Now I live in a house with my grandfather, grandmother, uncle, mother and brother in this small town (It is very small).

Before the pandemic I really liked to go out with my friends and my girlfriend to anywhere, because I enjoy very much socializing and having a good time with my friends. Now all that has changed, and I communicate with my friends through social networks and zoom. Something that changed too was that now I can’t go to cinemas, and that is terrible. But now I see a lot of movies in my house. And to be honest, I spend most of my time studying for my college major.
San Diego, Venezuela

    Hi Rodrigo! I never will go to Venezuela, but it'is one of the places that I want to know in the future, "post pandemic".
    I visited Bulnes in the 2018 and I love the food and the people, it's a very small town, but I lived an unforgettable holidays.

The Story of a Picture

  Hi everyone! In this blog I'm going to talk about this picture that I took. In the first place, I have to say that this picture is from Valdivia. I took this picture in march of 2019, with my cellphone in the bridge Pedro of Valdivia. When the sunset was ending, I was coincidentally passing by, so I took this picture and later I realized that the photo was taken out of focus. This didn't bother me, because I thought that this effect makes the picture look like a watercolor painting. I really like to think about this photo in that way, because the city of Valdivia was strange to me, like a dream, and why I say this? because I feel that in Valdivia I lived so many things, I experimented a lot of emotions and met wonderful people, that city changed me forever. And It was like a dream because I only lived there one year and a half. I like to see this picture and see the sunset, the river, the Valdivia's fluvial market; I like to see it and remember that I saw that view every ...

How can cinema change people!

 Hi to all of you! Today's post I will speak about my career and it's effect in the world. Cinema is a mass media, and that means that a movie can reach millions of peoples around the world. Thanks to that a movie can change the mindset of the people, either in a good way or a bad way. In my case, I think that movies have made me a better person. I am studying cinema and television not only because it's something that I love and I have skills to do it (or at least I think that haha), but also because I think that, by making movies, I am going to contribute in making the world a better place. Especially I want to make movies that talks about migration, because that is a theme closer to me and also it's something that I believe people have to reconsider, because sometimes we can have xenophobes thoughts and don't realize about them. I leave you a movie that made me think about this topic.

My Favorite Piece of Technology

 Hi everyone! Today I will speak about my favorite piece of technology: The Refrigerator. You may be wonder... why is this my favorite piece of technology? Well it's simple, this is a "magical" device: it not only contains and preserves food, but also can make this food disappear haha. The Refrigerator has many uses, I can froze things, It preserves vegetables, has a lot of compartments and its "magical" ability consist in that you can keep some food, but another person can take it and eat it. The funny part is that you will never know who ate your tuna sandwich. This is why I will always have a Refrigerator in my life, and I recommend that all of you have one, so you can be part of this "magical" experience. Also, you will be able to preserve your tuna sandwich.
