I was going to tear him but he does seem to have a logical point, and i sincerely lack a ton of formal film theory reading.
Reminds me of the falling video game industry, where the top brass and known critics regard the media these days as a tool for telling stories via interactive context and lastly some specific mechanics, instead of the classic aficionados who believe the mechanics and their executions in a designed space are the objects of appreciation themselves.
Haven't seen his stuff, the confidence in the written delivery might seem a little pretentious so i guess he does deliver his ideas, but portraying visuals as the narrative, the wheels of the vehicle to call it in a way seems overly difficult in full time format (over 60 minutes).
The ancient "ideal" combination of audio, visuals and narrative MIGHT have taken place in some music videos, but those take at most 6 minutes, and "video art", stuff usually focused on visual experimentation ala Rybzynski, take 10 or 15 if they are self-indulgent.
It seems he needs to be checked out, and it really, really doesn't help he's a capital mexican from a certain sector known to be some of the biggest bullshit artists and pretenders in Latin America.
