210sa Article


This picture was taken a while ago, I think like in February 2006... by Delicia Lopez in the West side of San Antonio...
The camera pictured was my ol' trusty DVX100. We filmed EL ESCAPE with it. It was Priceless. Not on eBay... It sold for $2500 (approx.) jajajajjaaj but I upgraded to a HD HVX200 which is much, much better...

I have been really bad about posting stuff that has been printed about us and our movie... But here's an interesting article fresh off the wires... jajajajaja

210sa is a new crazy news magazine that the San Antonio Express-News is putting out, and it just has been out for some months now, and it is a really interesting read, BUT this weeks' is especially exquisite and a joy to read because it talks about US!
jajajajajaja
How self-indulgent... jejejeje
Here's an excerpt:

Ricardo Mendoza drained his retirement account, worked side jobs and sold some of his belongings on eBay.

All in the name of independent filmmaking.

And now, Mendoza has been rewarded for his efforts, as his film, “Ash Wednesday: Capítulo Unus,” will make its world premiere at the New York International Latino Film Festival on Thursday, July 26. Mendoza, who was born in Piedras Negras, Mexico, and spent part of his childhood in San Antonio, shot the film in Eagle Pass from July 2006 to January 2007 on a budget of about $19,000.

Conexion (which is ALSO a publication of the Express-News) also printed a cool article about ASH... I'll try to scan it and post it on our site...
AND Conexion is printing again (Check out July 25's Conexion), but this time it is more like a Q & A with myself...
Thanks to Melissa Renteria (Conexion) and Clint Hale (210sa) for supporting us and the film...!

Talking about media, TVAW (the local Eagle Pass TV station channel 20) is airing a special called INSIDE Digital Work Studios... it is really cool and it is in Español.... it airs at 4:30pm weekdays from today until July 27...

AND other updates have been printed on the Eagle Pass News Guide...

AND we are hoping to have something really cool show up on WOAI (in S.A.)... but we're still working on stuff so more to come really soon...
