How Are You Thinking About? with Igor

Comedy


Award-winning Chicano-content focused Director Marvin Lemus comes on and gets nasty talking about both the guilt and the drive that comes from being an immigrant (or 2nd generation) and working in a creative field. We also talk about dealing with anxiety, activism, identity, YouTube, creating meaningful work, self-talk, love, and, you guessed it, more.  Marvin is an extremely talented filmmaker and a long-time friend and close collaborator with Igor. They worked together making sketches with their group, The Kids Table (http://www.youtube.com/thekidstablecomedy), as well as creating all the online promotional videos for the Lionsgate film, "Dear White People" (directed by podcast guest Justin Simien).  Marvin is currently in post-production on his Web Series, Gente-fied, which is Executive Produced by America Ferrera.   Marvin's website: http://www.elmarvinlemus.com/ Marvin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elmarvinlemus/ His award-winning short film: http://www.vamonosthefilm.com/ Trailer for his web series, executive produced by America Ferrera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJN3qTBBiK4   You can find Igor on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/igorpix/ Feel free to write to Igor at howareyouthinkingabout@gmail.com   PODCAST CREDITS Sound engineer: Don Kendall   Theme song: Vocals: MACK - https://www.instagram.com/mackandgold/ Mix: Dan Gerbang - https://www.instagram.com/dangerbang/ Writer: Igor Hiller   Cover art by George Hilton III: http://georgiecreates.tumblr.com/ Cover design by Eve Survilo: http://www.evesurvilo.com/   Thank you for listening.
