#11 - Director Matthew Rojas

Today’s guest is Matthew Rojas, a Director based out of Dallas, Texas. I think that Matthew comes at filmmaking with such an interesting athletic and also religious perspective and you can tell that the hard work and dedication he’s put into the craft has really paid off. You can tell that once Matthew sets his mind up that he is going to achieve something, you can already consider it done because he’s going to do whatever it takes to accomplish it. If you need some motivation and advice on how to achieve your filmmaking goals, it doesn’t get much better than this interview. In this interview, you’ll learn about Matthew’s transition from football to filmmaking in faith, fighting to get into film school, how Eraserhead changed his whole perspective on movies, working with producers like one and ONLY Wilson Lemieux, how batman and TIE Fighters inspire the greatest body shop ad you’ve ever seen, telling engaging stories without words, hiding psychological triggers like flashing lights in plain sight, him and his wife working together like a dadgum dream team, and a conversation he continues to have with his former self.
