I was hired by DHD Films out of Dallas to photograph the work done inside Anita’s Gourmet Tortilleria y Comida in Brownsville, Texas, back in late July 2020.
I was contacted in early July by DHD’s lead DP, Jose Medina, and vetted by their lead producer, Elliot A. Mayén. Once I was hired, Elliot drove down and we had a very productive (and hot) day working in and out of Anita’s. After lunch, we recorded Guadalupe’s on-camera narration at the Historic Brownsville Museum with the aid of my teleprompter. Shot with my Sony FS7 Mark II and 28-135mm f/4 broadcast lens, and lit with three Falcon Eyes RX-18T rolling LED lights.
The resulting package was released on the Texas Department of Agriculture’s social media that September. I was cinematographer on everything at Anita’s, plus Guadalupe’s narration. DHD Films produced the completed package for Texas Department of Agriculture’s Farm Fresh Initiative.
