00:00Come on, follow me.
00:05I was a very lonely boy.
00:10I sort of had to create my own world.
00:14So, you want to hear a story, huh?
00:17Okay, here's the story of Mex-Man.
00:20When I first met him, he was pitching to me this idea for this short film he had called Mex-Man.
00:24Santa Maria.
00:25It was about a cyborg, a Mexican immigrant, who has to find his humanity.
00:30It's a journey.
00:34As we were filming this thing, we were really surprised by how much heart it had.
00:38Mex-Man.
00:40The mechanized man.
00:42My art always revolved around characters and spirits and creatures.
00:47Up here I got the realm of the gods.
00:50It's supposed to be Buddha, Christ, his death, the great equalizer.
00:54I mean, he's a poor kid from South Almonte, gets into USC film school.
00:58He was just kicking ass.
01:00This is actually from Mex-Man.
01:02He knew a producer who liked the short.
01:04He wants to green-light Mex-Man as a feature.
01:06It's incredible.
01:07It's my chance.
01:08I would kill for this.
01:09It's a chance of a lifetime.
01:10Right!
01:12Hermano Alonso's Mex-Man has to be made.
01:15Okay, talk us through it.
01:17Wide shot, pan, dolly cross, empty space around airport.
01:20So, we're in the tunnel at this point.
01:21Yeah, we're in the tunnel with the lights.
01:23And we pull back.
01:24Last night Ben and I made a few small script changes.
01:27This lacks mysticism.
01:29I have some serious issues with Tyler, man.
01:31Why?
01:32Because I'm not his puppet.
01:33Herman is a perfect storm of conflict.
01:36And then you throw in a girl.
01:38I love your hair.
01:40Shouldn't you be storyboarding?
01:42I'm documenting it for her, you know.
01:45Hope you get to meet her.
01:47Damn, man.
01:50You know, there's some bad thoughts that come out of the mind.
01:54If my mind is inside this house that is strong,
01:57maybe my mind will get stronger.
01:59It hurts me a lot to see him in pain.
02:02He has something he wants to show the world.
02:05Nice, dude.
02:06Thank God!
02:07He's just got so much, like, talent that I'm jealous of.
02:10This is the thing, man.
02:11You're either on my side or not.
02:13They've been lying to us about everything.
02:16What happens if he has nothing prepared?
02:18We'll find out.
02:19I'm going to fight with my life.
02:21I'm going to do it.
02:22Okay, pictures up, please.
02:23Quiet on the set.
02:2412 apps, take 5.
02:25And...
02:27Action!
