Filam Creative: Voices

Director's note: This ep was filmed/recorded last year.

FilAm Creative, AKA FAC is not just the acronym that proceeds our Voices podcast, we are an entertainment collective that advocates for the advancement and greater representation of Filipino-Americans and all who are looking for a collaborative space.

Ever wonder what to do when you first get to LA? What to do when you decide to enter the entertainment industry? When it's time to follow your dreams to stardom?! Hear the stories FAC members who are writers, directors, actors, cinematographers telling their success stories, and get inspired to start on your own journey.

Michele Josue wanted to tell the story of the tragic loss of someone very close to her - Matt Shepard. In 2013 she didn't just re-tell the story of his murder, but told the story of his life, as no one was telling it, from the perspective of those who knew him best. Check out "Matt Shepard Is A Friend Of Mine" and then check out Michele's new documentary on Netflix - Happy Jail!

Bagyo joins Arlyn and Walter and talks about his amazing story of being a US Marine, Rapper, his work with Veterans, and his battle with cancer.
