Ever wondered what it takes to break into the world of film? What ignites the spark of creativity in an aspiring filmmaker? On a captivating episode of Mind Buzz Podcast, we get up close and personal with Alex, a recent graduate and a promising writer and producer. Alex unravels his story, from being awestruck by Hollywood biggies, to drawing inspiration from the Elevate Conference by Chicano Hollywood, and sorting through the rigors of applying for a master's program.

As our discussion unfolds, we navigate a wide-ranging terrain, from Alex's encounters with Hollywood A-listers to the nitty-gritty of film production. We illuminate the stepping stones to launching a short film, the distinction between production and administrative assistants, and the role of persistence in cracking into the industry. Moreover, we engage in a lively debate on the newest horror film remakes and the significance of a solid storyline, revealing our personal movie experiences and perspectives.

As we dig deeper, we touch on the chilling behaviors and crime consequences that sparked some of the iconic movie characters. We dissect the influence of the Writer's Strike and Actor's Strike on the industry and delve into the underbelly of production company terms. Lastly, we confront imposter syndrome, discuss the experiences of first-generation Latinos in creative spaces, and highlight the importance of a supportive community. So, strap in, and join us on this compelling journey that offers a unique insider's look at the film industry.
