‘American TV is not better than you do here’ – La Opinión de Málaga

Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón

lead the new school television The Chill cultural center in Malaga, where fifteen students will learn the secrets of the narrative, the script and the production, in an initiative in collaboration of the General Society of Authors ( SGAE). The Heat TV professionals receive national series for eight months instruct students in theory and practice on how to tell stories on television, and the final work will be writing for a pilot group of 50-minute episode. Another form of storytelling and eye also used: training in television in general is now an important niche employment, since the audience of television fiction is quite high in Spain, and “many files are created and consumed “says the director of classic Spanish films like Wonderland.

What elements must meet to be a TV quality TV
A public television primarily has to entertain and inform. The trend now in broadcast journalism is to treat large or small, local and international issues. Responsible TV can not do those horrible gossip programs.

What you see daily?
programming La 2 still good. We do not have a worse Sites TV; seems that here is awful because it is the one we know, but American television is better than is done here in Spain.

When do you think the Spaniards will choose by Spanish films?
That has come to pass. I think that during the good years were lived Transition meeting between the public and the Spanish cinema. But unfortunately, people do not so interested in the film [Gutiérrez Aragón takes own withdrawn years of cinema: his latest film, All are invited, is 2008]. Do not forget that the Spanish series are now living its best. He has fallen in room movies, what can we do! Things have changed …

In what sense?
Before that film was entertaining, now the TV series. Obviously, the TV does not have the glamor of cinema: the staging, the beauty of the images …; in the series, however, something more urgent raw, conversations are more lax, for example.

You are intimately linked to the film but also to literature. Which of it [laughs] freezes?
Some moments stay with me and other literature to cinema. In both you have to tell stories. However, the film leaves you dearly, while writing can remake your whim. And it’s free! Yes, one of the things I miss most is the work and daily contact with the actors.

When will Bowling?
Well for now I have no thought. I think the way of filmmaking has changed me now I do not want.

What is a more difficult task, writing a movie script or draft of a novel?
I think it’s more difficult to write for the movies because you have to hold the attention of people constantly. You know, in the movies the minutes are money …

A curiosity: repents or repented at some point in your life you have not taken the path of Journalism
Fortunately, the University of Journalism was closed for me that year. I’ve worked as a writer and as a director when I wanted. No doubt, the film is addictive. Furthermore, within the film world there are many beautiful occupations such as installer or technician.
