Creative Statement

My name is Jorge Gallego, I was born and raised in Ecuador. When I was 12 years old, my parents decided to move to the United States to give my sister and I a better education. After graduating from High school, I decided to attend SUNY Westchester Community College. Where I began studying Communications and Media Arts and graduated with an associate’s degree. While I was doing my degree in Communication and Media I began to get interested in film. I began to take courses on film, television, journalism and radio. But the film courses were engaging that I put more dedication on learning them. One thing that film got me attracted is that you as a film director you can bring a story on a paper to life and tell the story from your own vision. The directors that I admired are Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas, Guillermo del Toro, Robert Rodriguez and many others. For example, Robert Rodriguez does everything for his movies, like music, cinematographer, director, writer and producer. Also, allowing him to stay in low budget. I like how Rodriguez does many jobs in his films giving him creative freedom. I hope to pursued my career as a film director and confidently create my own company to do movies. Also, I like listening to music like rock, pop, hip hop many types of Latin music, as long as they are good. The music helps you feel any emotion by only listen and inspires you to created new ideas. The sports that I like play are soccer, golf, and basketball. My favorite soccer team would be Real Madrid from Spain.
