How has your Swiss-Peruvian, multi-country upbringing influenced your filmmaking?

I went from a city of eight million people, Lima, to a small Swiss town of 8,000 people when I was 10. There were mixed feelings, I enjoyed the proximity of things, being able to walk to school, the nature, riding my bike everywhere, but at the same time I hated the silence, the emptiness of the streets, the calm. It was a place where everything was predictable and predisposed. I was used to chaotic, noisy and busy. The quiet made me very anxious.
