A few months ago I got a chance to be on the set of A Father’s Journey for the filming of a pivotal scene, the crash. It took two-and-half-hours to set up for a few seconds on screen. My invitation came from actor and first-time director, David Fernandez Jr.

A Father’s Journey

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing David for a few years now, watching him grow as an actor and now as a director of a project that’s very dear and personal to him.

As we all know, independent films take a long time to complete; it’s always about the money. But when you get the right crew together, things get done. Now listen in on my conversations with David, Lou and Joey as they talk about their involvement with A Father’s Journey.

Starring Lou Pizarro (Operation Repo) Mayra Leal (Machete) Joey Medina (Original Latin Kings of Comedy), and David Fernandez Jr. (End of Watch).
