"Honestly the hardest part of this one was the math. We had 2 days to shoot a LOT: the new truck, real people, Mexican culture, charros, the fields, the water, the dirt… and the budget wasn’t exactly huge for all that.
So we planned like crazy. We had to split into units, but we couldn’t make them fully independent because of legal limitations, so everything had to be super coordinated so we didn’t lose time.
And the locations were all really close to each other, like sometimes we literally just turned the camera to the other side and boom, new location. The challenge was making them feel like totally different places even if they were basically next door. The lake, the canyon road, the corn, the train tracks… some of that is way closer than it looks.
At the end I’m really proud we pulled off a high end spot with everything we had to deal with." Amilcar Machado, director
