Thing about second chances is, you can only do it once. But life doesn’t work that one. Not only is there more than two chances. There are infinite chances only thing is we must go for them. This weeks guest is Glenda Delgado and she is a freaking inspiration.
Glenda put herself through film school in Las Vegas while working as a high-end concierge at the MGM. Her passion has always been film. Growing up on the silver screen entertainment, she will go to the theater just to go see the worst movie out.
Giving up the creature comforts she had established in Las Vegas, she gave it up for a couch on a stranger’s home in Los Angeles. To follow that dream of being in film. Working and giving it a great 7 years , she learned how the train of Hollywood works. And even working for Film Friend Director Robert Rodriguez,
she went for the ultimate challenge motherhood.
Being a momma has been a blessing Glenda is thankful for gift she has been given. But now that her daughter is a bit older. Glenda being the creative type has been getting the itch to start creating again. And this has led us to her latest short film.
YANANTIN! Is Glenda’s latest baby. A mother of a trip through the multiverse, with Glenda playing multiple roles. Both in front and behind the camera. Inspired by a talk she heard on a podcast with Robert Rodriguez. To utilize what ever you have available to make the movie you want. Glenda did just that. From setting up the cameras editing and learning how to light by going through online course. This movie was made on the sweat and tears of one woman.
Yanantin has has even won an award in Italy.
