00:00 You were a photographer when you got older.
00:03 Yeah.
00:04 Why did you become a photographer?
00:05 You were really an artist.
00:06 Actually, photography was taught to me when I was making films already.
00:12 I was an artist for a while.
00:14 But when I lost my drive as an artist,
00:19 I said, "I want to make a movie."
00:21 So basically, I trained with Eric, the assistant director,
00:25 scriptwriter, so I did several things for my brother.
00:29 And then, our cinematographer told me to shoot a portrait
00:37 so I could understand how a portrait was created.
00:42 Yes.
00:42 So I could be in your movie.
00:44 That's how my interest in photography started.
00:47 Until I developed my own process, ultraviolet photography.
00:52 What did you say?
00:53 Ultraviolet photography.
00:55 I'm sorry.
00:56 It's like I'm body painting with ultraviolet light.
01:02 Black light.
01:03 Do you do that yourself?
01:05 Well, I've learned it on my own.
01:06 Then I developed it.
01:08 But when I started researching it,
01:10 only three of us in the world were developing that process.
01:13 Two of them are from England.
01:15 So do you still do this?
01:16 I still do that.
01:17 Okay, so you're not yet ready.
01:19 I'm still out to get my book.
01:21 I still want to get it.
01:21 You want to have a book.
01:22 I want to have my own book.
01:24 A lot of people have watched your movie.
01:26 Even I watched the trailer of your movie, "Rajo."
01:30 Your portrayal was intense.
01:33 Your performance there.
01:34 A lot of people have said that.
01:35 How was it portraying that role?
01:38 I mean, how did you do it?
01:39 It was easy.
01:39 I just killed people.
01:41 Serial killer, right?
01:43 I just killed people.
01:44 I practiced.
01:45 You killed people first.
01:46 No, I got in touch with the evil side of myself.
01:51 You know, there's always an evil side to everyone.
01:53 Everyone has their own darkness.
01:56 There's a...
01:58 I can't say you're kind.
02:01 I'm really kind.
02:02 But I can't say that.
02:02 People are not perfect.
02:08 So I just look for the darkness in my life.
02:10 The pain.
02:11 The pains I had growing up.
02:14 The negative stages of my life.
02:17 Right?
02:18 That's it.
02:19 What about you, Ruben?
02:21 Of course, I don't know how you did it.
02:23 You just pulled out all the intensity
02:26 that you tried to show on the radio.
02:28 How did you do that?
02:32 That's a good answer.
02:35 They said, "Epi, you were saying that you had a lot of experiences from your childhood,
02:40 from when you grew up, all those experiences."
02:42 They said, "When you go through,
02:44 there's an awkward stage, right?
02:46 When you're a teenager, you're getting to know yourself.
02:49 You're getting to know yourself.
02:50 There's a stage where you're confused.
02:53 There's a stage where you're addicted to drugs or alcohol.
02:58 Or you're a drunk.
03:00 Or you're doing things at school
03:03 or you can't go to school.
03:04 Did you experience that?
03:06 Did you go through that?
03:07 When I was alive,
03:08 when I was alive,
03:11 I've lived a lot of lives.
03:12 Because I believe in the saying that
03:16 you have to experience life.
03:17 To the fullest.
03:19 It's a waste.
03:20 You're looking for your extremes on both ends.
03:23 And the best part is that
03:25 the life in the middle becomes colorful.
03:29 And you learn from your mistakes.
03:30 So basically, I made a lot of mistakes
03:33 with my relationships.
03:35 Not just with myself, but with my relationships.
03:37 I made a lot of mistakes in life.
03:41 I'm still correcting others.
03:44 You're just like, "Oh, that's wrong."
03:46 Yes, just like that.
03:47 You'll only know when you experience it.
03:49 When it's done.
03:50 When it's done.
03:51 You'll really regret it in the end.
03:53 I've been through a lot in my life.
03:56 Of course, you regret it, why you did it.
04:01 But of course, there's no regrets in life.
04:04 That's what an attitude should be.
04:06 We shouldn't have regrets in life.
04:08 Because it's already done.
04:10 It's already happened.
04:11 We learned from it.
04:12 So you don't have regrets in life?
04:14 You don't have any regrets in life?
04:15 I have a lot of pains that I remember.
04:17 In my memory, in myself.
04:19 But I really don't have any regrets.
04:21 I've learned to live a good life.
04:23 And I'm just living a life.
04:25 So my own
