About this episode
Zena chats with Miguel Torres Umba, the powerhouse performer behind Ben in PRIMATE, directed by Johannes Roberts.
An actor, director, and movement specialist known for his intensely physical performances, Miguel breaks down what it took to land the role and fully transform into Ben, from the grueling prep to unleashing that raw, animalistic energy on screen.
Tune in as we dive into behind-the-scenes stories, the most terrifying moments to film, and just how brutal things really get.
