TMN is a space where creativity thrives, young voices find their power, and opportunities turn into reality. What started as a dream three years ago has now evolved into a thriving global community of young creators shaping the future of media, journalism, and entertainment.
I had the idea of TMN in my mind for at least 15 years. While working with my organization, Colectivo Piloto, since 2004, I tried to create something "like it"—a youth network. Back then, Instagram didn’t exist (only YouTube was launched in 2004). However, we were already creating film festivals encouraging young people to use mobile devices and digital cameras to make home movies. For the first time, young people didn’t need a "studio" or formal setting to create content that resonated with them. We built the spaces, and soon, the tech industry solidified platforms into something profitable and accessible to everyone.
But here’s the catch—tech companies don’t always care about the content people post on their platforms. Do they? The reality is that our opinions don’t really matter.
The technology was there for us to break the rules—the rules of the media industry and its rigid standards. I wanted to create something that didn’t exist: an educational platform where creators learn by creating content, not by watching boring videos of experienced adults telling them what to do. A platform that is fun, serious, and lighthearted at the same time. A place where young people could learn from real experiences, working side by side with experienced mentors.

Imagine a platform where young people aren’t punished for being different. A space where they could explore their passions—pop, rock, indie, or folk music—and dive into a reimagined and updated film language. A space where they could simply be themselves—where they’re treated as young creators, not as inexperienced kids.
For years, this idea stayed in my mind. I started the project not knowing exactly how it would unfold, but here it is, three years later, still evolving and growing. TMN started as just a dream—a belief that young people deserve a platform to express their passions, uncertainties, and everything in between. The goal was clear: create a space where young creators could learn, experiment, and grow beyond traditional education. A place where creativity is nourished by curiosity, music is celebrated, stories are reimagined, and new ideas take shape.
Now, three years later, TMN has become a global hub where mistakes are part of the learning process, fun is at the heart of creation, and young talents are equipped with the tools they need to succeed. With mentorship, learning experiences, exclusive content, and opportunities to be part of something bigger, TMN is shaping the next generation of creative professionals.
Turning Vision Into Action
After years of dreaming, planning, and building the foundation, it was clear that the time had come to transform the idea into something tangible. Today, TMN is more than just a vision; it’s a platform where young creators are not only learning but also creating content that matters. By breaking away from traditional systems and embracing real-world experiences, TMN offers a space where creativity and education go hand in hand. This is just the beginning, and our new platform is designed to elevate young talents in ways that are both meaningful and impactful.
