I didn’t have a name for a month after I was born, my name is Ivan Alcala. I’m new to journalism. I enjoy telling people my opinions, even when they don’t ask. I also enjoy filmmaking and camerawork; capturing a moment in time on a C100 or Black Magic 6k camera that tells a wider story feels fulfilling. When I’m not doing filmmaking, my main interests include model building, a hobby that toes the line between technical and artistic skill, and reading, a hobby that allows me to be transported into the minds and ideas of other talented people. Words and actions are a musical scale and it is my job to turn that into a melody.
