Rejected but not affected...

Good times: Nestor Pragas (Rolando Tamayo), ME, and Gregorio Cazares (Fred Cisneros), we were shooting a flashback scene and it was f***in' freezinggggg.... BUT can it get any better than this? hanging with the coolest and baddest people on the planet! On screen and OFF!! jajajaja NOTE: Tamayo's blood and bruises are the product of Paco's makeup... :-|

How many times have you been rejected in your life?
Well, I have been rejected on many, many, many, MANY occasions, and to tell you the truth, I have developed a tough skin... jajajajaja
A few days ago we got the rejection email from the biggest, most hugest film fest in the world, the cannes film fest in france...
All I can say is we did our best, and I have no regrets, or plans of how we could've done it differently... Which is good :-D
SO, our plans for the future?
KEEP SWINGING!
We're not gonna let a little film festival in france, let us down... jajajajaja
Just like people, festivals have a distinct taste for films, and we all know that ASH WEDNESDAY is NOT for everyone... Think of it like a food contest: Beef fajita tacos would win at my contest, wheareas spaghetti would win at an italian contest and so on...

IN GOOD NEWS, we are designing a poster with graphic designer magnifico Alex Probst... and it is looking incredible... more to come later...

IN more festival news, we have submitted to many other important festivals around the world, so hopefully one festival, will actually "get" the film...

IN NON-Movie news, we are doing a lot of work in the private sector, we are doing the videos for the 2007 Mexican-American Unity Council Gala (check out last years videos here), AND we are doing a very important project for the City of San Antonio's Public Works Dept and the Asphalt Institute that will be presented at the national public works conference in September... so we are quite busy... :-D

IN MORE NON-Movie BAD NEWS:
Our beloved pet /Co-Editor Doggy Mendoza has gone missing since April 4.
She has been with us for 4 years and has kept us happy ever since... You know, when you get home and you feel like SHIT, she was the one that would brighten up your day, because she was so incredibly glad to see you...
She disappeared Wednesday in the afternoon. My guess is that she left to hide when she heard thunder, and then it started raining. We also suspect that she is in the care of someone, because no one in the neighborhood knows anything...
We have put up signs around the neighborhood, announcements on the radio and TV, AND a huge ad in the newspaper...
So hopefully she'll turn up...


(No shade) Too much to sacrifice, (No light) it's hard to recongnize
(Just black) traps to compromise (And white) obscuring deadly alabies
(My plans) It's combinational, (designs) the pressure's so intense
So I'll construct this sound defense
(No Way) Nothing's plainer than the madness in the world today
(No sign) I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away
(No grace) I seek initiative in matters that are black and white
(No sense) So I'll construct this sound defense
BAD RELIGION- THE DEFENSE
