San Xavier Mission

Coyote Moon Films would like to take a moment to express our gratitude to Father Steven of San Xavier del Bac Mission for the use of the beautiful church. The Mission continues to undergo restoration, which you can read about here, and if you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to help fund this effort, you can send it to: Patronato San Xavier, P.O. Box 522, Tucson, Arizona 85702.

If you're ever in the Tucson area, a visit to the Mission is well worth your time.

Se Habla Español, Day 3

We have completed filming on "Se Habla Español." Today we shot at two locations: Veinte de Agosto Park, and the Ronstadt Bus Station. We are grateful to the City of Tucson for their cooperation. The wrap party took place at El Minuto downtown, where everyone in attendance enjoyed good food and interesting conversation.

Post-production begins soon, but in the meantime, Coyote Moon Films would like to thank all who worked on the film for their passion for filmmaking. We had a happy set, and everyone contributed to that.

Se Habla Español, Day 2

Our second day of shooting wrapped earlier this evening. We filmed at La Buena (tortilleria), and are grateful to Mr. Abelardo Frisby and his excellent staff for their cooperation, patience and tamales. The innocent bystanders that I saw seemed to be entertained by the proceedings.

Se Habla Español, Day 1

Yesterday we finished our first day of shooting on the short film, "Se Habla Español." We are grateful to the Mission San Xavier del Bac for allowing to shoot there. More details (and images!) to come after we finish production.
