About this listen

Filmmaker Jonathan Cuartas is making waves in the indie horror scene with his debut feature, "My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To." In this episode, Jonathan sits down with host Alec C. Cohen to discuss how he brought his intimate horror-drama to life outside the traditional film hubs of Los Angeles and New York. From turning a proof of concept short film into a feature to collaborating closely with his brother and father, Jonathan's journey is a testament to the power of family and perseverance in filmmaking.


Throughout the episode, Jonathan dives into the unique challenges and triumphs of working on a tight budget, building emotional depth into his horror narratives, and the creative ways he navigated the indie film landscape. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker or a fan of unconventional horror, this conversation is packed with inspiration and practical insights.


Stick around until the very end for an update on Host Alec C. Cohen's first film, "Petunia."
