After reading my post this morning, another guy lucky enough to live in the ExxonMobil - EP AMI came by the house. I think he's going to write Kevin Beiter a letter. Now that the locals realize that my movie is a black comedy about lawyers and bureaucrats, they are all clamoring to put in their two cents. My movie is completely respectful of the local culture. I even respect the criminal enterprises. The fact that there is drug and human smuggling on the Texas-Mexican border is not news to anyone. My project doesn't involve specifics or new info on the topic of contraband. Sure, there is a lot of violence in the rural areas of South Texas, but very little of that is directed towards locals. Locals carry guns and are prepared. The victims are usually the illegal immigrants because they aren't armed. Sometimes a rancher is kidnapped, but 99% of the time, its not a local person getting nabbed. 99% of the criminals aren't from here. They are just passing thru or sent here by gangs to enforce orders. Sometimes locals get caught in the crossfire. I don't think living here is any more dangerous than any where else. Plus, as many point out, if you have to defend yourself, no one is going to come looking for the body.
The only people that will be unhappy with my movie are the lawyers and bureaucrats.
