Tower Production's 10th Anniversary

There's no doubt that the borderland region’s filmmaking community is growing and maturing, and a special event next week celebrates one of El Paso's most organized production companies. In the spring of 2016, several friends and film lovers decided to start a film company together, and Tower Productions was born.

Now 10 years in, they've grown in numbers, and their work has grown in quality and scope next week. They'll get a big plaza theater welcome as they celebrate 10 years of work and life with a special evening of discussions and film screenings. Join this edition of On Film with host Charles Horak in the company of all three of Tower Productions’ original co-founders, Austin Young, Eric Sanchez, and Carlos De La Torre.
