RAW is Polaris: A Modern-Day Tlacuilo! (w/ Polaris Castillo)

On episode 28, we are joined by artist and filmmaker, Polaris Castillo. Castillo’s work blends the energies between the soul of the cosmos and the human spirit, taking inspiration from his Mesoamerican ancestry and preserving the tradition of storytelling as a modern day tlacuilo, the Nahuatl translation for "writer, artist, or scribe." We talk all about what inspired him to create his award-winning short film, El Luchador, about a retired wrestler searching for identity. We also talk about the latest documentary he is working on with former WWE champion, Celeste Bonin (aka Kaitlyn). We then dig deep into the cultural roots that inspire all of Castillo's work and how EVERYTHING in life always circles back to wrestling!Find Polaris Castillo at: https://www.polariscastillo.com/Watch Pay the Tithe: https://vimeo.com/878487892Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/SomewhereintheRingPodcastByMeACoffee: buymeacoffee.com/UFxzyzHOaQEmail: [email protected] on Instagram: @SomewhereRingPodFollow on Twitter: @SomeRingPodFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/424653323266736Store: http://tee.pub/lic/ULZAy7IY12U© Ryan Sprague, 2024.
