Live from Nashville: A Multicultural Approach to Filmmaking with Diego Cacho

Episode 6

Monday, April 20, 2026 • Duration 43:24

In this episode of Chasing the Same Sun: Adventures in Global Filmmaking, Hometeam partner Lagan Sebert literally sits down — for the first time recording a live podcast episode — with incredible collaborator and cinematographer Diego Cacho. Diego shares his path into filmmaking, from early days shooting with friends in Mexico City to building a global career across more than 30 countries. Now based in Nashville, he reflects on balancing commercial and narrative work, navigating cultural nuance on international sets, and why protecting the energy on set is just as important as the visuals. We also dive into his approach to collaboration, storytelling across cultures, and what it means to stay curious while chasing the same sun.
