José Valle Jr. is a director and all-around filmmaker who I met by coincidence on a film set about a year ago. Between takes, José and I bonded over our shared time in Iowa (and the mutual understanding that nothing beats Casey’s pizza.)

In this episode, we dive into spooky ghost-vampire stories, the difference between “my film” and “our film,” the lessons film school can’t teach you, and why representation on screen matters so much. It was an honor getting to sit down with such a talented filmmaker and artist. José is absolutely going places, so keep an eye out for his work.
