What a great initiative, @sndbox! I'm loving these contests.
It's not clarified, but I found a very promising newcomer whose introduction post is not in English. Even so, since I speak both languages I'll dare to participate. As stated on his 'introduce yourself', Luciano Lara Vegas is a young man from Venezuela who has plenty of studies and experience as a screenwriter, photographer, and filmmaker. Art, filmography and anthropology seem to be his greatest passions. I believe we can expect some interesting, good-quality content from him, as he intends to share his proposals and recent works with the platform. I did some further research, and I encourage you to check his Instagram to have a more solid background on the author.
