The gift that keeps on giving...


Photo: Still from El Escape De Los Santos... It's funny because we're still using that gun on Ash Wednesday... We recycle!

El Escape De Los Santos, our first film, is like a gift that... well, you know, you read the title...

On October 20th there will be a special screening of El Escape in San Antonio at:
7 p.m.
Radius
106 Auditorium Circle (right across from the Municipal Auditorium)
San Antonio Texas , 78205

This screening will be a perfect time to celebrate the release of the film on DVD, which comes out that same week! perfect timing!

The screening will be a part of the Adelante Film Forum which is:
"This intensive, three-day conference will bring media industry experts and scholars to the local film community to share secrets and to strategize about the future of independent media. Through workshops and panels, filmmakers will learn how to meet the challenges of the exploding diversity of new markets and genres."
More info and calendar of events here:

I will be present to say a few words, to introduce a "behind the effects" segment AND to present the trailer for ASH WEDNESDAY: CAPITULO UNUS, among other surprises...

Apparently, this is a free event open to the public, but more info will be posted here in the coming days...

On ASH WEDNESDAY, I've been editing ALL DAY LONG... my eyes hurt... but I have my phone service restored... FINALLY!

Will you show anything else, besides the trailer, like maybe a small scene or how your film will begin? Also is this event open to public and will you and your crew be there for some interviews?

Oscar,
this event IS open to the public and yes I will be there for a question and answer thing...
As far as showing a scene [of Ash Wednesday], I am still thinking about it... but we'll figure something out... we'll see.
Hope to see you there.
