This year, I had the incredible opportunity to cover the red carpets at the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival, and I can't help but share how excited I was throughout the entire experience. As an 18-year-old girl, attending an event of this magnitude was a dream come true.
From the moment I arrived in Sitges, the atmosphere captivated me. The vibrant energy of filmmakers, actors, and fans created an almost magical ambiance. The bright and colorful red carpet was ready to welcome the stars of cinema, and being part of it was unforgettable.
My role at the event was to capture those unique moments through photography. Having the responsibility to immortalize these instances filled me with energy; each click of my camera was an opportunity to tell a story.
Seeing actors parade in their beautiful outfits and the smiles of fans nearby was an amazing spectacle. I tried to capture the essence of each arrival, searching for the perfect angle and the ideal moment. It felt as if, in that brief instant, I could share their joy and passion for cinema.
Moreover, interacting with my TMN colleagues was incredibly enriching. Sharing experiences and learning about different photography styles helped me improve my skills and feel part of a community passionate about film and photography.
I am deeply grateful to Teens Media Network and the Sitges Film Festival for providing me with this unique opportunity. Being part of such an amazing team and having the chance to cover such an important event has been an experience that has allowed me to grow both professionally and personally.
The Sitges Festival gave me the chance to experience something that further fueled my love for cinema. I am immensely thankful for every moment spent there and for being part of such a special event. I can't wait to return next year and continue capturing those magical moments!
