9. Ever wanted to visit Austin, TX? Want to have a blast this summer? Would
you like a credit on a feature film before you graduate? Alex
Stockton '15 is searching for cast and crew for a feature film entitled
Illegal Invisible Ignited to be shot in Austin, TX this summer.
Everyone will be fed and have a place to live. And you can bet it'll be
the best summer you've ever had. The film's synopsis: Illegal Invisible
Ignited tells the story of Franky DeLuna, a Hispanic who dreams of being
an inventor but that was brought to the United States illegally when he
was a little boy. He struggles to find his place in a country that
requires him to not exist and is deported when he contacts the police in
order to prevent a rape. As he tries to make a new home in Mexico,
Franky discovers the corruption of the cartels and must decide whether
it is better to live in a country where his life is in danger or a
country that doesn't want him. Think 12 Years a Slave mixed with The Pursuit of Happyness but told through the salient issue of illegal immigration. If you are interested, please contact Alex ([log in to unmask]).
