How much can you say in 90 seconds? For filmmaker Daniel Maggio, the answer is: everything.

In this joyful and insightful interview from the 2025 ILLUMINATE Film Festival, Daniel discusses the inspiration behind YOU ROCK, his playful yet profound micro-short about empathy, interconnectedness, and the unexpected wisdom of a stone with a soul.

Shot along the Yuba River in Nevada City with a spiritual friend-turned-actor, YOU ROCK was Daniel’s response to the festival’s “Oneness of Humanity” theme. The film invites us to see ourselves in all things—even the ones we usually step on.

🎬 Topics in this interview include:
• Translating big spiritual ideas into tiny films
• Why 90 seconds is enough to shift consciousness
• Working with nature, friends, and last-minute creativity
• The beauty of watching an audience go on an emotional ride—in under two minutes
