Alan Goldman, a graduate in Audiovisual Communication, works at the production company Milagrito Films. He also handles pre-production tasks, such ascastingand selecting actors.
The graduate's sitcom, *Piso 8*, took first place in the 2006 Conta competition, organized by Channel 10.
Alan Goldman recounted his experience producing *Piso 8*: “The seven episodes that make up the *Piso 8* series required 10 months of very demanding work, from the original idea through post-production. The first stage was submitting the proposal for Conta 2006; of course, at that point I had no idea whether the project would move forward or not. Once it was selected, we began working on what is called the project’s pre-production—that is, all the work leading up to filming.”
Alan talks about his experience studying at Universidad ORT Uruguay.
“I appreciate the fact that at ORT you can encounter all kinds of teachers, with all kinds of ideologies, and, in my experience, each teacher has a fair amount of freedom to teach their subject according to their own judgment. It gave me a certain open-mindedness—a foundation for continuing to grow on my own, ”Alan noted.
Several university projects in which he served as producer or director were screened at national film festivals in Argentina, Chile, Spain, and Puerto Rico. “We won a special mention for the documentary *Becky por un día*, which was directed by Maya Landesman and produced by me.” Last year, he participated in theTalent Campusat the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival, organized in collaboration with the Berlin Film Festival.
Alan believes he always felt called to “do something related to communication,” but back in high school “I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted because these fields were very new and not as established as they are now. In fact, it wasn’t easy to explain it to my parents—I come from a family of engineers, and it took some convincing to change their minds,” he concluded.
