Do you know Federico Alvarez?

Federico Alvarez is from Uruguay.

Uruguay is a small country in South America.

Uruguay is under Brazil and next to Argentina.




He is a director.

He made a short film about a robot invasion in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.

The film`s title is "Ataque de pánico".

This means "Panic Attack" in English.



He used $300 to make his movie.

Then, He put the movie on the Internet.

Over 1,500,000 people have watched his video.

Many people in Hollywood want him to make a movie.

He said "I uploaded 'Ataque de Panico!' on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of emails from Hollywood studios."

Ghost House Pictures, a Hollywood studio, will give him $30,000,000 to make a movie.

He spent only $300 to make "Ataque de pánico" but now he can get $30,000,000!

It`s wonderful!

He didn`t have so much money.

He lives in a small country.

But he got his dream!

Christmas Lights!

In America, people put lights on thier houses for Christmas.



It is very cold in some parts of America. People can cheer up by looking at colorful lights.

Christmas lights started in Germany in 1800. At that time only a Christmas tree would have lights. They didn`t have electricty so they used candles.





In 1903 in America, People started putting lights on the outsides of thier houses also.

At first, people only put up a few lights.


Over time, people put more and more lights!




Some people would compete with thier nieghbors. They would try to put up more lights than other people. Soon, some people were putting up too many lights.








Sometimes it is Crazy!!


But sometimes it is Wonderful!
