About Andres A.

I am a filmmaker from Colombia. I started my career studying media production in Bogota and photography in Spain. I have worked as a freelancer in both countries and worked on cruise ships for a few years. Traveling all over the world and meeting people from a lot of different countries and cultures has triggered in me a passion for traveling, and a hunger for that broad, global knowledge and empathy that is so needed in todays society. My goal as a filmmaker is not just to communicate a message but more to make people feel, the thinking and doing part comes later.

About Cooperativa A.

CoopDocs nace como una red de colaboración en la que se colectivizan los proyectos que cada uno trae consigo y colaborativamente se los viabilizan gracias a la experiencia, experticia y talentos específicos de sus integrantes, sin que la ubicación geográfica sea una limitante. Reconocemos al cooperativismo como el modo de gestión para la producción audiovisual comprometida con procesos sociales y comunitarios. Fomentamos un espacio de colaboración, a través del cual se puedan viabilizar muchos de nuestros proyectos individuales que han quedado estancados por falta de apoyos económicos, institucionales y sobre todo de tiempo y equipo humano. Mirando este elemento común, decidimos abrir un espacio en la periferia de la industria de la producción audiovisual comercial, gestionado directamente por los socios y socias y funcione como espacio de apoyo, colaboración, generación de recursos que permitan dignificar nuestro trabajo y apoye a la creación y difusión de materiales comunicacionales al servicio de organizaciones sociales, comunidades y causas sociales con las que nos identificamos. OBJETIVOS -Generar un espacio de crecimiento profesional y económico para los y las integrantes. (generación de ingresos que dignifiquen la labor profesional comprometida. -Apoyar comunicacionalmente a organizaciones sociales y comunidades para amplificar sus voces, luchas y procesos organizativos. -Aportar al fortalecimiento organizativo a partir de la formación y capacitación de los integrantes de organizaciones sociales y comunidades que se involucren en los procesos de producción comunicacional. -Aportar en la producción audiovisual, proyectos personales de los y las integrantes de la cooperativa, asi como tambien de proyectos en marcha de organizaciones sociales, ongs o procesos organizativos.
