WOW, what a day...
Yesterday, we filmed with our friend Lic. Rolando Tamayo who is coming back after a very scary health crisis. He was in the hospital for months, but now he is back and ready for action.
People who saw our first film EL ESCAPE DE LOS SANTOS might remember him as the exuberant lawyer of Andres De Los Santos...
Originally the role of Gregorio Cazares (a torturing hitman in Ash Wednesday) was written for him, but health problems didn't allow him to do the role.
Now he serves as Nestor Pragas, an ex-DEA agent who gets tortured and killed by Gregorio Cazares (played by Fred Cisneros)... Nestor is Delso Carrete's longtime friend and mentor, whom which in their time they infiltrated drug cartels and brought drug dealers to justice...
Fred Cisneros and our agent Hector Hernandez came down from San Antonio to shoot a really cool flashback scene...
As of now Capítulo Unus is a very close FINAL CUT of the film, however there's still room for improvement...
We are very happy of how the film turned out.
I'm sure that the final FINAL cut will be even more satisfying...

______________________
Today is my wife/girlfriend's birthday... she is, ummmmm, very very young...
ANYWAY, at the time when we did not have ANY money, and we needed $ for important stuff, she was one of the very few people who believed in me, in what I could succeed, in my hopes and my dreams... and maybe the sheer fact that someone else believes that you can be someone special is enough to make you confident to do a lot of cool stuff... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Gaby has been with me throughout the past 9 years, and we have been through A LOT... and that is probably an understatement... I'm just very glad that we have more time to enjoy life and each other...
