    Filmmaker in Focus: Gui Agustini - Bad Movies We Love

    In the new Filmmaker in Focus episode, I sat down with Gui Agustini, who you may have seen on Elsbeth, or The Time Traveler's Wife, and he's the voice of Roberto da Costa on X-Men '97, but what you may not know is that he's a very talented and accomplished filmmaker too! In this interview, we talked about his journey in filmmaking, some of his inspirations, his future in front of and behind the camera, and, of course, a little bit of X-Men '97. You can find Gui doing all kinds of things from music to acting reels to appearances on Instagram, and you can check out some of his short films on YouTube. And if you want to check out our first interview on X-Friends, talking about X-Men '97 season one, you can find that here.
