In today's episode, I interview Roger Torres about his film "Irma," a personal story of family dealing with difficult choices that is based on his own life. The film was selected as a semifinalist for the 2024 Student Academy Awards.
Listen to hear about how the intense personal experience that inspired Roger's film, how he used that to explore a unique storytelling angle, and the struggles of casting actors to play your own family members.
