Well how can I start? Well first of all I was born in San
German, Puerto Rico to a great family, if I do say so myself, who named me
Fernando Enrique Eduardo Correa Gonzalez which makes me and my little brother
the two people with the longest names in my family, which is pretty awesome
because it makes a bit easier for when I have to choose a name for my male
children, if I ever have any boys.
About
my childhood I am going to say this. Back when I was a child I used to play
lots of basketball and I loved Michael Jordan so that was the first thing I
wanted to be. I wanted to be the greatest basketball player that ever lived.
After that when I got into intermediate school I got really, really interested
in the arts especially in drawing, film, literature and video games (which many
people do not consider art but I do). During this time of my life I started to
draw a bunch of characters which I am now currently developing as I keep
learning and reading. Another thing I did a lot during this time of my life was
write songs for imaginary bands that my friend Alex and I used to create along
with our friend Carlos Ruben. I really do not remember how many bands exactly
did we create but I believe that the main ones were “Radioactive” which would
have been a punk rock band and the other one would be an unnamed heavy metal
band.
After all this efforts to make bands
failed we decided to focus on our filmmaking abilities and so inspired by the
television show “Jackass” and all its predecessors, follow-ups and spin-offs we
decided to make a long feature film called “Dumbass: The Movie” which would
have us doing stupid stunts and pranks. We did this film along with our other
friends Jose, Ahmad, Carlos Alexis, Jordan, Keno and Louis. Another thing we
did was change the title for it, we decided to call it “Caribbean Death
Rampage” because that’s what we called ourselves as a crew. It was a fun
experience but we did it at an attempt to get famous through the internet, we
never did get famous although we did get an email offering to be in a
television show which was going to feature people doing extreme stuff but by
the time this email came around we were all in college and our interests in
this type of filmmaking had changed.
After doing this film I decided to
focus on writing short stories, short films, poetry, drawing and also filming
my own short films. So basically in high school what I did was focus on what I
really, really wanted to do as a profession, an artist specialized in film and
literature. My last year of high school was also when I met my love, Michele.
Now
in college my life has completely changed because back when I was younger I did
not use to read a lot but now in college my minded has expanded greatly and I
have found out that one must develop every single aspect that he or she can.
After taking only but a year and a half of college education I have discovered
how much the arts and how much I love humanities, history, philosophy,
psychology and many other topics, the most surprising one being architecture.
So
there was a bit of my life story and the following list is composed of just a
few things that I like, you know hobbies and interests: film, music, drama,
literature, all sorts of graphic and plastic arts, photography, exercising,
playing basketball and football, spending time with my family and friends,
reading, watching movies, listening to music, finding out about new people,
artists and things. There is a bunch of more stuff but this is just a very
brief list of stuff that I am into.
