I am starting a film project about the the U.S. Mexican border.

The working title for this project is "Border Town" and it will be about a border community on the United States side of the border.

It will focus on the issues that such a community faces.

This will be a non-paying job, for now.

The idea is I will gather artists who want to work in front of and behind the camera.

I will divide the people into three groups: Actors, Writers, Directors.

Ideally, these groups of people will be able to operate so that if someone is not present, others can fill in to keep the project going.

Episodes will be filmed twice, once in English and once in Spanish, to help attract a large audience.

This project will not be about any real place, but will take examples of what happens at border communities.

This will be a serious project, something that people will be able to put on their resumes. Ideally, people interested in being actors will be able to use as a launching pad.

For more information, check out the group on Facebook.

There will be a group meeting June 20th 3-5 pm at the Camarena Library in Calexico.
