Today I’m joined by Mario Rivera director and co-subject of Never Ending, It's Better This Way  The film explores DIY punk band Left Unsaid's rise from Albuquerque's thriving music scene in the early 2000s. Despite adversity, they became hometown heroes with a devoted following and mainstream radio airplay. Their journey embodies the resilience of blue-collar bands striving for recognition and success, showcasing the passion it takes to chase dreams in the music industry. This is a hell of a film that I thoroughly enjoyed even before I realized I had an incredibly brief cameo in it. It's so short that watched the film and didn’t notice I was in it, but after I spoke with Mario I went back and paused a scene we talk about and, there I am 25 years ago… god damn  Never Ending, It's Better This Way is currently on Amazon Prime in the US. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/followingfilms/support
