What happens when a group of determined filmmakers set out to create a feature film amidst a global pandemic? Join us as we share our compelling conversation with the team behind 'Something of Value,' including the visionary director Daniel Paulino, the genius cinematographer Baldwin Angeles, and the talented actors Adiel Torres and Robel Luan. We discuss the resilience in overcoming the unique challenges faced due to the pandemic like adhering to strict protocols and wearing multiple hats, and the emotional story of Robel losing his supportive father during the process. Baldwin enlightens us on his approach to cinematography, particularly how to stretch boundaries even when faced with a tight budget.
Our chat also revolved around the inspiration behind 'Something of Value' and the intricate casting process. Daniel and Adiel walk us through their journey of self-doubt and courage - a testament to the power of believing in oneself. We dive into the complex character development and the arduous task of juggling work, school, and acting during a pandemic. Hear about the importance of location scouting, the use of color to set different tones in the film, and the indispensable role of a close-knit circle of friends in movie production.
As we wrap up the conversation, we explore the unique dynamics of on-set relationships and the significance of Latin culture in the film. We touch upon the natural Spanglish conversation that happens amongst Latinx people and the fun idea of creating a dictionary for this unique language blend. The upcoming screening of the film at the New York Latino Film Festival and the role of social media in promoting the film also hog the limelight. As a bonus, we end with pearls of wisdom for budding filmmakers and actors – emphasizing the importance of being intentional, confident, and socially connected in this industry. This conversation is a treasure chest of insights, inspiration, and a whole lot of courage. Don't miss it!
