Listen now
Description
In episode 12, Johnny talks to Visual Effects artist Sofia Diaz. Born and raised in Mexico, but now living in New Zealand, Sofia has worked on several successful films and TV shows including Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, Moon Knight, and the Netflix shows Wednesday and Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet Of Curiosities.  This conversation was recorded face to face towards the end of April 2023.  We talk about VFX and animation, interesting ways to eat popcorn, and we discuss the holy trinity of Mexican directors: Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu. Many thanks to James Van As who wrote and performed the brilliant music (check out James' brilliant Loco Looper game), and to Willow Van As who designed the amazing artwork and provided general podcast support.
