Director/producer/cinematographer David Blue Garcia will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A on September 28.

Desperate for money to save his grandfather, Javi, a south Texas farm hand, resorts to extreme measures, and finds himself having to cross the border as a drug mule in order to collect a cool 10k. Easy money, right? Not so fast. In Emmy-winning cinematographer David Blue Garcia's electrifying feature film debut, nothing is going to come easy, and a lot of bones are going to get broken along the way.

With echoes of the brilliant shot-in-Calgary series FARGO, TEJANO is a gorgeously shot, relentlessly-paced, and very timely thriller about what desperate people will do in times of extreme pressure. At times shocking, violent, and unrelenting - but with a pitch-black sense of humour lurking beneath the surface, this 2018 Dallas International Film Festival Audience Award winner marks the debut of an exciting new film-making voice.
