Why subscribe?

My name is José Zambrano Cassella, award-winning Director, Cinematographer, Musician, Editor, and Producer with 20+ years in features, docs, and more than 2,000 commercials. Basically I’ve done it all and survived to tell the tale. The purpose of this page is to write about film and music from an insider’s point of view. To tell you the good, the bad and the ugly.

I’m not here to bore you with lukewarm takes. Subscribing means you get front-row seats to rants that might make you laugh, piss you off, or, if we’re lucky, make you think.

You’ll get behind-the-scenes chaos from film projects in motion, commentary sharp enough to cut glass, and the occasional unsolicited vinyl recommendation that will ruin your Spotify algorithm.

If you like your culture served neat with a twist of sarcasm, and zero AI-sounding fluff…this is the spot.

Stay up-to-date

Never miss an update, unless you unsubscribe, in which case I’ll assume you just hate movies, music, and fun. Every new post goes straight to your inbox. No spam, no ads, no “10 secrets to six-pack abs.” Just me. get the Substack app.

Join the crew

Be part of a community of people who enjoy arguing about culture, music, movies, and vinyl. Comment, heckle, agree, disagree, it’s all welcome. Or just lurk silently like a creep. Either way, you’re supporting this circus.

Kidding aside, thanks for visiting my Substack page!
