In today's episode, I interview Alejandro Vilpa, creator of the new streaming platform Vilpamax. The service is dedicated to showcasing short films from emerging filmmakers and is launched in early 2026.

Listen to hear about how Alejandro decided to create the platform when he identified a gap in the marketplace, using films from acclaimed festivals and Oscar nominees to bring people to the service and introduce them to other films, and what the plans are for the future.
