Jun 2, 202101:17:34Tap to summarizeHappy Pride Month! For this week's episode I sat down with Omar Salas Zamora, an independent filmmaker and one of my oldest friends. Omar has written and directed dozens of shorts and several feature length films. We discussed his background and journey through the film industry, as well as his most recent project: the mini series, Here Comes Your Man. The show follows two young men from the beginning to the end of their relationship and is loosely based on Omar's own experiences in the LGBTQ community.
