Filmmaker Daniel Cardenas On Commercials, Documentaries and Being A Gun For Hire.

My friend Daniel Cardenas is a talented director and producer, cranking out commercials and videos through his own Bakerbuilt Works. He's mastered brand stories, product videos and testimonials, but you can tell documentaries scratch Daniel's itch. We chat imposter syndrome, low budget filmmaking and his award-winning docu "Hopped Up" and a new project as well.  Stream "Hopped Up" on Amazon, check out the trailer to "Hopped Up" Daniel also hosts and produces The Circle Take Podcast, and graciously had me on.
