More and more Films are coming to the borderland as the rest of the world begins to recognize El Paso's place in both filmmaking and film exhibition. A new independent film with deep connections to the Lone Star State is making its way around the country. Writer, director, and feature film producer Oscar Boyson’s new film is Our Hero Balthazar, his directorial debut.

This program originally aired on May 16, 2026.
