In this episode, we connect with international filmmaker Antonio Herrera Trujillo. John (along with countless people across the internet) was captivated by a viral video Antonio filmed during an unexpected fight he witnessed in Madagascar. The clip sparked our curiosity, and we were eager to learn more about the person behind the camera.

Antonio talks about how he first stepped into the world of filmmaking in his beloved oceanside town, a place known for its powerful winds and thriving wind-sport community. He reflects on how the landscape, the people, and the rhythm of coastal life shaped his creative eye.

John dives into what makes Antonio’s videos so engaging and inspiring, and Antonio walks us through how he’s honed his craft—learning to capture the best shots, trusting his instincts, and teaching himself to edit with both intention and emotion.

Our conversation left us energized, grateful, and ready to pick up our own cameras. Antonio reminded us that filmmaking isn’t only about dramatic moments; it’s also about staying open to everyday beauty, paying attention to the small details that surround us, and letting curiosity guide the lens.
