The Cucuy Club was produced for the 2012 San Antonio Neighborhood Film Project. I’m quite fond of this one. Sadly it didn’t make the cut. Not only did it not win any prizes, but it wasn’t even screened at the city-sponsored event. What a bunch of creeps! So I created an evening of free screenings for some of those who also didn’t make the grade. Slab Cinema helped out and we had our screening party in the backyard of G2E, which was, at that time, housed on S. St. Mary’s  Street.

Why this didn’t win is beyond me. I mean I brought out the big guns. If I couldn’t win with Marisela Barrera making passionate love to an accordion, and Victor Payan in a mask, what chance do any of us have?

The script is actually a vignette from a longer, and as yet unfinished piece of the same title.

Here’s a little teaser I created in hopes of getting people to come to the screening which never happened…. “You must be the vatos from the internet.”
