“I loved working with the Lewis Brothers, they are a dynamic duo. Every time I felt I landed with something honest, they both came at me with a soft push to go in a different direction. Capturing lightning in a bottle is when you feel uncomfortable, being free and relaxed to just play and explore. We had so many moments like that with Isaac and Andrew.”

“Spending weeks in West Texas was a delight. I’ve been traveling through West Texas since I was kid going back and forth from Ojinaga, Chihuahua to Fort Worth. To be out here again after having spent months on THE THREE BURIALS OF MELQUIADES ESTRADA back in 2004 brought back so many cathartic feelings. BETHESDA is a great script with so many talented folks in front of and behind the camera.”
Julio César Cedillo
The words are nothing without intention. There is tension, distrust, and hesitation in the room.
