Agustina, what informs the unique creative universes we find in your films?
I use dreams a lot for inspiration! I've always had intense and memorable dreams that I could perfectly remember and write down after, and I always left the open door for that, for dreams to show me things. But I also had a lot of insomnia, almost throughout all of my life. So I would have all these endless hours in the night where everyone else sleeps, sitting in the dark, looking at the ceiling, thinking and inventing things… I think that between the insomnia and the intense dreams — it profoundly shifted the way that I am. Even though now I'm way more rational than I was before… I still can identify with that. I have always been very spiritual.
