In this episode, Johnnie talks with filmmaker and lens creator Peppe Badalamenti, joining from Guatemala. Pepe has built something very personal: a small lens brand shaped by his own journey, his heritage, and his love for cinema.

What makes his work special isn’t just the image, but the intention. Every lens he produces supports real people and real stories — from care homes in his community to children who deserve better chances in life. It’s filmmaking with compassion at its core.

This conversation is gentle, thoughtful, and a reminder that our craft can be more than just gear — it can be a way to give back and stay connected to what matters.
