take # 2: Amsterdam.

while in Brickell Bay finishing up with the individual pics and taking advantage of a remarkable Miami fall sunset, we were approached by two soft spoken guys with filming equipment. “we are traveling the world filming unedited portraits of common people asking four questions: 1. what’s your name; 2. where were you born; 3. where are you now; 4. what’s your concept of Paradise. the entire production will be a permanent exhibition in a Museum in Amsterdam which is funding the experiment.”

the thought provoking encounter made us all forget about how tired we were and ignited a joyous, lively, happy conversation: we were all sharing Paradises. 

amazingly enough, the following day they filmed me. so, yes, Cecilia and I will be featured in the permanent installation somewhere in Holland in a year or so. 

besides the torture of takes and retakes that made me realize how hard it is to be an actor, the artistic duo opened a Pandora’s box full of reminiscence, values, memories, laughs, love dressed with an overflowing cup of bonding with Cecilia.

Miami: I ended up realizing the simple truth. I don’t like Miami (and I don’t keep it a secret) however here is where I live because Cecilia’s life is here. therefore, Miami is now my Paradise.

more on this when the clip will be available.
