Rudy Mancuso (Música, Awkward Puppets) joins us this week to share the drive and passion behind his directorial film debut: Música. He talks about the lived inspiration of synesthesia, why stopping listening to other was the smartest thing he could do, and how Camila Mendes was the only feasible option to star in the film. We also talk about being disengaged from non-quantifiable social media statistics, his Brazilian/ Italian upbringing, and his evolution from Vine to directing major motion pictures.
