LifeStory with Oscar Estrada: Filmmaking challenges, Hard Work, and Learning from Failures

Oscar Estrada is the best filmmaker I know, and my best friend. Oscar is the person I call when I have a half-baked idea that I think could be great. Oscar has an action bias. He gets things done, and he doesn’t stop. He’s also a lot of fun at parties.

I met Oscar at The Rochester Institute of Technology when we were both members of our college improv group Work In Progress. Oscar is originally from Peru and he came to RIT for college. As a member of WIP, Oscar performed live improv comedy without yet being fully fluent in English. Imagine flying to another country and performing a play, with a script you improvise on the fly, in a language you don’t yet have a full understanding of. Oscar did that.

The first project Oscar and I built together was called The RIT Newsman, a weekly entertainment news show about RIT for RIT students. Since then, every successful video or media project I’ve worked on has had been with Oscar by my side, including this show. Together we’ve seen a lot of success, and have had to learn from a lot of failure.

Oscar’s life story can teach you the power of taking calculated risks, the power of hard work, and the power of failing forward.
