Season 7 Episode 8 Carlos Villaverde

This time on the podcast Houry sits down with Carlos, a DP whose journey into filmmaking began in the most unexpected place — the military. After first discovering film in Florida, he realized he didn’t want to spend his life in uniform. So, he pivoted: film school, his first camera, and slowly finding his way onto sets.

We talk about the moment he truly fell in love with the craft — watching a DP and director light a room and realizing this was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. We also dive into how technology has shaped and continues to reshape the filmmaking process, and what that means for the future of cinema, as well as his first ever set experience. Press play and become inspired!
