A First-Ever Motion Picture on Our Lady of Guadalupe
Front Royal, VA (September 28, 2010) Roman Catholic filmmakers come together to produce a first-ever motion picture on Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Conquest of Mexico.
Independent filmmaker and producer Richard Mauro who has worked with some of the top firms such as MTV and Good Morning America has joined forces with Dan Cortes of Mosaiah Entertainment to produce the film.
The project is early on but has already attracted the interest of some notable filmmakers. Vittorio Storaro, a 3 time Academy Award winning Director of Photography whose credits include such films as Apocalypse Now," " Reds," and "The Last Emperor" was highly enthusiastic about their cinematic vision and proposal for "Tepeyac Hill," which is the film's title.
Other notables such as “Apocalypto” villain Raoul Trujillo and representation for John Debney who scored the “Passion of the Christ” have also shown interest and look forward to seeing the script and potentially becoming involved as the project unfolds.
Locations for actual filming are planned in New Mexico with the existing tax incentives Mr. Cortes noted. “With the emerging digital technology and convenience of filming in the U.S. we feel we can shoot a film budgeted conscientiously without skimming on quality and the period nature involved with this.”
Mr. Mauro who has successfully produced and distributed films in the $1M range believes that with initial seed funding and a trustworthy Investor they will be able to take the project to a larger producer to help get the film made, “Hopefully someone very religious.” He says.
The events of the Conquest of Mexico and the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe (1531) to the Aztec people are of major historical and religious significance throughout the world.
