Panamanian-American cinematographer Horacio Marquinez has shot over 30 feature films in the US and all over the world. Including one of my personal favorites - Bobcat Goldthwait's - World\u2019s Greatest Dad. And we talk about what it was like to work with the king of clowns, Robin Williams. We also talk about the shadow of tragedy that is hanging over that film. And here\u2019s the first disclaimer of this episode - we mention suicide. And right away spoiler alert - if you haven\u2019t watched the movie World\u2019s Greatest Dad, we talk about the finale of the film, but personally, I don\u2019t think it spoils it. You will love it or hate it no matter whether you know how it ends or not. It\u2019s that kind of a movie.\xa0\xa0\xa0

Horacio and I talk about family, and opposing family to be true to yourself. We touch on relationships and dating, and what it was like to be a gay boy in Panama in the 70s. We talk about learning to trust self and how to get into Columbia Film school if you don\u2019t speak English.\xa0

We also talk about Horacio\u2019s newest project that he\u2019s creating together with my friend, Russian filmmaker Kirill Myltsev. The project is called 2020 Americans. And it\u2019s a mixed media project - it\u2019s a documentary and a series of black and white photographs - that take a snapshot of the United States today. The guys have been driving around the US in the pre-election months and will continue driving around after the election until they collect 2020 photos and find out what it means to be American today.\xa0

Here\u2019s their Instagram is @2020Americans.
