Oliver alcala

I was born in the sinful land of Tijuana Baja California in 1995. I was a very self conscious child raised in a very religious environment. I grew up with a fear of god and the uncertainty of the after life. I used to wonder about the universe before the existence of god in the shower before school where I was constantly bullied for being feminine and nerdy. I've lived all over the state in Baja California, Studied at the state's autonomous university in the capital: Mexicali. In what could be compared to a filmmaking program. While living there, i had two short stories published in a local young writers compilation before I gave up on school due to mental health complications and moved back with my mother in Tecate Baja California, where they make the famous beer. I have since worked in advertisement and videohome movies. I wrote and produced a jingle for the radio, and have participated in writing, filming, and editing in a plethora of local video ads and a few feature length movies. I am currently self employed in the same field and spend most of my free time making music, writing lyrics, poems, and some short stories, as well as in mantaining a youtube channel where I practice all of these activities. I am an avid reader, with a preference for classic literature and philosophy. I love Kafka, Bukowski, García Márquez, Mastretta, and Schopenhauer the most. I have never lived in an english speaking country, but I do visit the U.S. often and am more than confident in my translating and communicating abilities
