Episode notes
Long before Catalina Sandino Moreno found herself starring in action movies with names like John Woo and John Wick attached to them, she was a young unknown in Colombia, unsure if her dream of becoming an actress would ever come to fruition. Then, her first role — as Maria in Maria Full of Grace, directed by Joshua Marston – earned her an Oscar nomination. Catalina reflects on that role, what it taught her about empathy and art, and how it’s affected her life ever since.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the new Amazon Prime show Overcompensating.

About the show
On Feeling Seen, writer and general enthusiast Jordan Crucchiola invites filmmakers, writers, comedians, and artists to discuss the movie characters that made them “feel seen.” It’s about that instant when a person connects to a piece of art so deeply that they see themselves reflected in it. Every week Jordan gabs it up with a guest about those magical moments when they were watching a film and realized, “That’s me!” It’s an informative, funny, and comforting show about our intimate relationship with movies, the impact they have on our lives, and how they influence our art.
