Gustavo Loza entered the world of television with his right foot. Canal Once gave him his first opportunity, where he left his mark on children’s productions with shows like Bizbiria, My Great Friend, and especially Way Home.
Today, from a distance, he has established himself as a director, producer, and writer, and thanks to that, as well as his children, he made the leap into acting.
“Although I am known for my comedy series, I love drama and touching on sensitive topics, so I took the decision to make a film, an author’s work, very serious and deep…
With comedy, he assures that it fulfills a social function. It is important that people thank him when they see him on the street, because it is not about making people laugh for no reason, and his productions contribute to people’s mood.
However, I have other needs, I like cinema, drama, I love touching on deep subjects, discussing them, putting my finger on the sore spot, but I have had to put it aside a bit and today I am taking it up again alongside my children.
They have an acting, musical, and musical background, and each one of them already has experience. It seemed like an incredible experience to me because I know that they know how to do it perfectly well, and that they have a very good appearance and a good look, thanks to their mother.
As a director, he said that he observed them closely and with a “maybe” he decided to carry out his project, since he is convinced that if there is one thing he has, it is a good eye for choosing his protagonists.
“Already on the way I decide to Luciana Silveyra For the mother, the father was missing and suddenly my children tell me ‘why don’t you do it’; I answered that I am not an actor, to which they told me, ‘but you have been doing it for 30 years directing.'”
“I accept the decision of take the bull by the horns” Not because of an ego issue or a particular interest in wanting to get into acting, but because life is only one. An experience of this with my children will remain forever. Although of course the most important thing is the film, the story, the power, what I want to say and when they see it they will realize why I got into acting.”
But this raid was for Gustavo Loza “very difficult” since the film was recorded in Mexico City, Veracruz and Italy, so it ended up contracted because of the normal pressure of directing and, in addition, acting.
When asked if he had already prepared himself for criticism regarding his work as an actor, he commented that it does not matter to him, since he has a very powerful reason for doing this. A film that deals with a family issue who will give his face in this film that concerns his children, him and his closest circle, because they are serious things, which he knows and which happened to them, so “to that extent it makes no difference to me, I did what I did.”
