| This production is the labor of Gene Torres, a local guy who wears the hats of an artist / musician / director / producer. Ric helped out with the casting and other aspects of this production. It was quite the experience but the hard work paid off, the shoot went off without a single problem. The music was arranged by Gene and the premise is of El Gato (a good guy wrestler) wiping up the bad guy wrestling promoter (Ric) and doing away with him and his henchmen. Filming was done at the local VFW Post #2951 in Santa Fe, NM The cast and crew wish to express their thanks to the post commander, the post quartmaster, the staff and members who were involved in aiding the shoot. Thanx for all the fun Gene ! |
