Screenwriter, producer, and filmmaker, Kevin. T Morales joins Sandie to talk about the lifelong journey of storytelling. He comes from a family of artists and storytellers, and he's even had lunch with Francis Ford Coppola. In this episode, Kevin gives advice to aspiring filmmakers and directors on how to find your voice, write through grief, and maybe consider moving out of the United States. Of course, we also talk about the three filmmakers that inspired him to find his voice: Alejandro Iñárritu, Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón. Liked what Kevin had to say?
