EP 012 – Making Movie Magic at 12 and 16. The Future of Cinema Starts Young
from LEO SAVES THE WORLD, ONE PODCAST AT THE TIME · host Leonardo Corbucci
In this episode of Leo Saves the World One Podcast at a Time, I sit down with two very special young guests from my movie The Marvelous Minu: Sophia, who played Minu, and Michael, who worked as the sound recorder on set.Sophia was only 12 years old when she stepped in front of the camera as a first-time actress, bringing Minu to life with courage, imagination, and heart. We talk about what it felt like to act in a real movie for the first time, the excitement and fear of being on set, the funniest moments during filming, and whether this experience made her want to act again.Michael was only 15 years old when he took on one of the most important jobs on a film set: recording sound. We talk about what he learned, the pressure of making sure every scene sounded right, the challenges of real movie equipment, and why sound is one of the most underrated parts of filmmaking.This episode is about youth, creativity, courage, teamwork, and the magic that happens when young people are given the chance to be part of cinema. Sometimes the future of filmmaking does not begin in Hollywood — it begins with a first movie, a first role, a first microphone, and the courage to try.Guest:Sophia – Actress, Minu in The Marvelous MinuMichael – Sound Recorder, The Marvelous MinuWatch, like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations about movies, creativity, life, and the future of storytelling.
