We recently connected with Diana Castro and have shared our conversation below.

Diana, appreciate you joining us today. Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?

Since I can remember I have been fascinated by cameras, TV, and movies. When I was able to start working at 16 years old, I saved up money to buy a camcorder and a love story started with my vocation. When I got the chance to work for free for production companies, I just did it, and I was able to see and experience the film universe. It was my own version of Disney World. No matter how long the hours were, it made me feel alive. I loved it all.

Fast forward, several years and I met my husband on set. We were working together on a project where I was a producer and he was the cameraman and technical director, and as fate had it we got married a few years later.

Although we worked in the corporate world at a recognized broadcasting station, we worked on film jobs on the side to keep the passion alive. We soon grew tired of the mediocrity and the limited ability to create with greatness and purpose and realized that the corporate world was not for us. It was making us fall out of love with the one thing that made us feel alive.

By that time we had our first daughter (Sofia), I realized that I didn’t want to have a 9-to-5 job and limit my time with my daughter. I wanted to pursue my own dreams, work on my own terms, and create my own rules. At that time, I was ready to take a risk, quit my job, and start an adventure. This is how For Productions was born. It has been about 12 years, and as we continue to evolve we are now creating our own path with a Video Podcast LEADERS WITH A MISSION – here we interview amazing people that are elevating humanity via their missions, gifts, and talents. We are grateful for everything. We would not change a thing.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

Our mission is to amplify the voices of those who are here to do good in the world. people that are in alignment with their soul’s purpose to share their gifts, talents, mission, and story, from a place of love and service.

The way we do it is by leveraging the power of video on multiple platforms.

The best part about what we do is that we get to create legacy and impact with messages that inspire humanity to expand. With all the noise in the world, we get to help amplify the messages of those who are here as messengers of hope, love, connection, healing, wealth, prosperity, and all the things that allow us to live in purpose and in service of each other – all while embracing the fullness of our human experience.

We are the go-to media house for leaders, changemakers, speakers, coaches, authors, educators, and service-driven entrepreneurs with big hearts and big messages. We help them package their message in content form and make it easy for distribution.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

Art to me is the ability to create something that comes from one’s unique point of view – Art is also the gift of self-expression from our soul, from our personal point of view, is a fingerprint of our unique “voice” and this requires to be and feel connected to self. This connection to self gives us access to all parts of us, the good – the bad – the ugly, and it takes courage to showcase it, it takes self-discovery. being and artist is being human, it takes multiple forms and shapes.

For me, Video is the container of all art, (Why?) because to create video – one must touch multiple art segments ( lighting, props, set design, wardrobe design, makeup artist, storytelling, music creation, music selection …. and the list can go on, and on – PLUS video is this time capsule that holds time still – and moving all at the same time. it is a wonderful tool for legacy and impact – and that is a powerful tool.

I get to do video content for a living and co-create with amazing people. I feel blessed.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

To amplify the impact and visibility of ideas that are going to help people feel more connected, more inspired, more in integrity with purpose. To use a powerful medium like VIDEO to let people know that their existence matters.
