Ray:
What was the toughest moment you faced on
the making of this film?
Jesus:
Getting the money to make it when nobody
thought this was a commercial
movie.

Ray:
How
much did this Indy cost?
Jesus:
About $500,000

Ray:
How
many movie scripts have you written?
Jesus:
This movie was my first script and I did
it with the collaboration of
Julia Montejo. I have written some other
things in the past, but the truth is
that I am way more passionate about
directing and acting.

Ray:
What
was the initial inspiration for the
screenplay?
Jesus:
The film is based on actual events. My
commitment as filmmaker is to tell stories
that can enrich us as human beings and I
felt this one was perfect
in that regard.

Ray:
How did
you and Julia Montejo get involved in the
film?
Jesus:
She was a friend of mine and I hired her
to co-write and co-direct with me.

Ray:
You
produced, co-wrote, co-directed and acted
in the film. From the four what path do
you want to pursue more in career wise?
Jesus:
Directing and acting, although I also
enjoy developing stories and all the
creative aspects associated with
producing.

Ray:
How did
you balance all the different
responsibilities?
Jesus:
By bringing together a wonderful team of
professionals that fully supported my
vision.

Ray:
What
kind of research went into the script?
Jesus:
We went to the Honduran Cosulate to
confirm our facts and talked to
several undocumented immigrants whose
struggles were very similar to Pablo's ,
the protagonist of our story.

Ray:
Chelsea
Rendon great actress. What was the best
part from your heart that you and her
shared on screen.
Jesus:
Our commitment to portray a real
father-daughter relationship, and the
loving bond that unfolded.

Ray:
Lindsay
Price sexy actress..I must say: What was
it like to working with Lindsay?
Jesus:
She is a sweetheart and very professional.
It was a pleasure working with her. She is
so beautiful and charming that at times it
was difficult to fight with her when the
script called for that.

Ray:
What
advice do you have for those who want to
get into show business?
Jesus:
Make sure that you are absolutely
passionate about your career. Let
your need for self expression be the
reason to embrace this career as
opposed to money, fame or other reasons
that are not connected with who you are.

Ray:
Cool Jesus, last question: Who would you
like to give a Shout-out to?
Jesus:
To everyone out there who is also using
their talents to promote peace and
social justice.
