Matthew Espinosa Exclusive Interview

How do you personally relate to Jordan?

Matthew: We have both have had some of the same experiences like going on tour (but for separate reasons considering he’s a musician).

Do you see yourself as more of an actor or more of a social media star?

Matthew: Definitely an actor but that’s not to say I will stop doing social media, I believe social media is a great way to get connected with fans and to have them grow with you through the words you speak.

Are there any more movies in your future?

Matthew: Yes definitely. I can’t wait to do more film. I want to make captivating films that tell a strong message behind them. That’s my main focus.

It looks like you had a lot of fun making this movie, but was it “work” on the set?

Matthew: Yes it was work most definitely. But overall such a impactful experience that helped me grow as a actor and film maker. I can’t wait to do more!

Is the movie environment much different than being surrounded by Viners and YouTubers?

Matthew: The movie environment is definitely much different than being surrounded by voters and youtubers because it’s something I’ve wanted to do my whole life and now that it’s here I am so thankful so I definitely think the main difference is the professional vibe on set. When you are shooting a YouTube video, you are on your own time, when you are on a movie set. You are on others time, which is a little more nerve wracking.

Who are some of your biggest inspirations when it comes to acting? Who motivates you and keeps you uplifted through all the hard work?

Matthew: Looking up to actors such as Leo, Will Smith, James Franco, Shia labouf, as well as my family and close friends that help motivate me to become a better me.

Do you think your past with MAGCON and with all of your social media was a key in discovering what you wanted to do for your career?

Matthew: Even though it really went going for like 3-4 months, the exponential growth on my channel was helped a lot by MAGCON, I personally enjoyed it, but I am glad I have moved on and had started making film.
