After years of coaching actors on set, this was my first time actually saying “Action!” in front of the cameras. I’ve worked side by side with director Angel Gracia—shadowing him, producing, and acting together on all kinds of wild projects—but stepping in to direct (even just a few episodes) was such a fun and eye-opening ride. This moment felt like the start of a new chapter: full of growth, trust, and doing what I love... with a bit more responsibility and a lot more adrenaline.
