Daniel Poler comes from Venezuela and Panama and his new film is coming to this year’s Virginia Film Festival (10/22-26). ESPINA is the film he made about and starring his best friend, Jonathan, who’s confined to a wheelchair. The movie explores the subject with an upbeat attitude. We discuss:
– How he got to the states
– When his filmmaking career began
– Creating fashion videos for designers like Prada, Carolina Herrera, Jason Woo and Saks
– Graduating from a doc to narrative
– The title’s meaning
– The surprise after the credits
