In this podcast episode, filmmaker Matthew Rojas and host Carlo dive deep into the intersection of creativity, filmmaking, faith, and personal growth. They begin by discussing the organic nature of their recent projects—highlighting the value of making art purely for the love of it, rather than always chasing commercial goals. Both emphasize how spontaneity and collaboration often lead to their most fulfilling work. The conversation shifts into personal territory as Carlo shares about his recent baptism and journey back into faith, while Matthew opens up about how Christianity has guided every step of his career—from receiving a divine prompt to make seven films, to navigating which jobs align with his values. They touch on the challenges of being freelance creatives, the fear and excitement around fatherhood, and how prioritizing time—especially with children—has refined their patience and purpose. Through it all, Matthew emphasizes the importance of listening to God’s voice in his career decisions, curating community through relationships rather than shared beliefs, and staying open to collaboration while holding firm to his vision. The episode is a heartfelt blend of testimony, filmmaking insight, and spiritual reflection.
