  • Season 7 Episode 4 Luis Alexander Mejia
    Aug 10 2025

    This week, we sit down with actor Luis Alexander Mejia to talk about the audition process, the power of movement training, and how staying creative in the room can make you a more versatile performer. Luis also shares how being an immigrant from El Salvador shaped his perspective—and why telling stories rooted in that experience isn’t just entertaining, but essential and educational. We get into the growing wave of vertical filmmaking, and why playing a villain is an exciting twist for someone as kind-hearted as Luis in real life. A thoughtful, inspiring episode for artists and storytellers alike.

    We sit down with Gerald Tineo, a skilled focus puller from Venezuela, to talk about life behind the camera and the realities of working on set. Gerald shares stories about chaotic productions, the importance of staying professional under pressure, and why speaking up against mistreatment—like not getting paid on time or being denied basic needs—is so necessary. We also dive into how working with a respectful, supportive crew can completely change the experience. It's an honest, eye-opening conversation for anyone in the industry.

  • Season 7 Episode 2 Lori Livingston
    Jul 27 2025

    This week, we sit down with the incredibly versatile Lori Livingston. You may not recognize her face right away—thanks to layers of prosthetic makeup in blockbuster films like Captain Marvel and Bright—but her presence is unforgettable. Lori shares insights on the transformative power of method acting, the unique challenges of performing under heavy makeup, and what it was really like being yelled at on set by none other than Denzel Washington. It’s a candid, inspiring, and at times hilarious conversation you won’t want to miss.
