Pancho Clos & Laura Lilia Trevino Cross Paths - Early Jan

Approximately 3 days after I was dismissed from Uni, I receive a phone call from a fellow woman filmmaker I met at a film festival in September 2009. When we met we had an immediate great connection, we were somehow on similar wave lengths, or traveling through similar paths, and could simply relate, and connect very well. Her name was Dalia Tapia, I could tell her charisma was flowing well with mine. Anyway we had a great time at the festival and we parted, she returned to her life in Chicago to continue festival rounds with SILENT SHAME and then begin pre prod work for PANCHO CLOS. We kept in touch over the months.

At approx 3 days after I learned my life would change forever, she reached out to me about co-producing and assistant directing her next short film in Chicago. It was an exciting offer, to coproduce and A.D. a short film in a city I had never been before, in the next 10 days. If I were to accept, my work would begin immediately working remotely to hire crew, break down the script, make lists, locations, scheduling, and all the pre work. So I did, I knew I was very intrigued by Dalia and her approach to filmmaking that I couldn't let this perfect opportunity pass me by.

All the cards were right, no job to conflict my hours, no projects to interfere, and a desire to grow professionally as a producer & A.D. as well as explore new cities.

Seize it, ready or not.
