In this video, we’re diving into the world of indie filmmaking with a director who’s pushing creative boundaries. My guest is Paulo Pérez, the writer and director of The Human Supremacist—a satirical comedy that takes a bold and unexpected look at veganism and diet culture. With a budget under $50K, a minimal crew, and a vision that challenges conventions, Paulo navigated the entire process from script to distribution—landing the film on Amazon Prime.
