“Most of my professional work has been in project development in the arts. Coordinating International Relations at New York Film Academy, I supported upcoming filmmakers. When I write that I've worked in over twenty countries, it was mostly through NYFA. As program leader for BA (Hons) Contemporary Media Practice at Arts University Plymouth, I started outreach projects: Media Lab, MIXarts, and Ulysses. Coordinating media for Crossing Stages UC3M arts project co-funded by the European Union, I coordinated media work that received international recognition. Directing Cancun Riviera Maya International Film Festival, we built a ground-breaking project in Southeast Mexico. Developing Espacio Cine [Film Space], we introduced film in Televisa’s Espacio, main university media event in Latin America.” —PV
