Episode 183 - Hugo Covarrubias and Tevo Diaz

On the Mic with Tim Drake

Oscar week is here and it's time for an all new episode of the podcast with Oscar nominees Hugo Covarrubias and Tevo Diaz!

Hugo and Tevo's film "Bestia" is nominated for Best Animated Short Film in the 94th Oscars. I first watched "Bestia" at the Sundance Film Festival this year and was absolutely blown away by it. I knew immediately that it would be nominated for an Oscar and it was no surprise when the nominations were announced that "Bestia" was among them.

Hugo and Tevo discussed the process of getting "Bestia" off the ground, the immense research that went into creating the character and story, the production design (which is incredible), filming during the pandemic, and so much more.

It was a great time talking with Hugo and Tevo over Zoom. There were a few technical issues, but they worked themselves out as the episode rolled on. "Bestia" is a film that will stick with me forever. I can't wait to see what is next for them and wish them the best at the Oscar's this Sunday.

You can still see "Bestia", as well as all of the nominated short films as part of ShortsTV. Click on the link below to find where it's playing near you.

Thanks, Hugo and Tebo!

Enjoy the episode!
