El Paso continues to be a proving ground for talented filmmakers on the borderland. Our special guest today belongs to that fraternity bringing a third narrative feature film (in the works) into play this year.

Guest Host Carlos de la Torre welcomes filmmaker Anthony Salgado, a writer, director and producer with grand motivation to make feature films in our city. With the features Paranoid Flux and Cut the Tech already in in repertoire the drive does not stop there, now presenting his working feature film The French Driver.

Detailed Synopsis:
"The French Driver showcases two stories held in parallel dimensions. During a lockdown and pandemic two people, Santiago and Brown, find ways to keep themselves occupied and sane in the midst of a police state government. In the midst of the chaos, The French Driver emerges, but who is the French Driver?"
