POST 2: Raul Cuero

The video we watched in class is an interview with the Scientist, Raul Cuero. Raul Cuero explains how he grew up in a small town of people who looked identical to him. They all went to school in order to get jobs, and never really considered anything else. This is until he traveled to a city for the first time and then started to see the bigger picture.

Raul mentions in the video the difference between kids who grew up in technology versus kids who grew up in nature. I agree with him that there is a major difference between the two. I feel like my generation, who grew up with a mix of technology and nature, has a lot more social connections than the generation who are growing up right now. Adults always say that "kids are addicted to their phones" but it has only gotten worse because of the pandemic and being forced to use technology.

I think it was very interesting when Raul said that you can't plan creativity so you should enjoy the process. I find this to be true in some cases. When there's deadlines artists must make, they have to plan creativity to an extent. However when there's no deadlines and artists can make their own timelines of when to release their work, they are able to fully enjoy the process. I find this to be true in my daily life as a film student. I love creating and the process of creating, but at times I, like many others, must plan it.
