He got his start working the box office at the former Cine Versailles. After a short time, he was put in charge operating the lights, curtains, and audio during and after intermission in the theater. In a twist of fate, which hardly anyone understands, he came to Cine Laboratorio, where he learned the jobs of positive reviewer and later film developer. On countless occasions, he worked around the clock to meet the demands of his new occupation. The training he received and the good relations he formed with Kodak's advisor to the laboratory allowed him to expand and refine his knowledge of developing, taking into account the points of view of the cameraman and the director, which he complemented with frequent visits to film sets. This was one of the reasons why leading film directors sought him out. However, the rapid development of technology and the passing of time ultimately marked the end of a forty-eight-year career of excellence, meticulousness, and uncompromising quality. Written by
