This week we are joined by director Sebastián Rea and actor Diego Mejia from the short film Heritage which had its east coast premiere at the NY Latino Film Festival. The short centers is based on Sebastián’s own life and is a coming-of-age story that “follows Rumiñahui, “Rumi”, as he navigates his future with the guidance of his Indigenous Andean ancestors, ultimately finding the strength to succeed in a world seemingly working against him.”

The two talk about their experience seeing the most recent version on the big screen at NYLFF in September, the plans for the short in the future to either be expanded into a feature film or possibly a series, and share advice for actors and emerging filmmakers who may leave school feeling unprepared, as well as what they wish they knew earlier on in their careers.
