Exclusive: David Morse (The Chair), Bill Heck (Locke & Key) and Jaklyn Bejarano have been set to star in Santa Rita Film Co.’s La Gloria, a drama exploring the humanity and political abstractions surrounding the U.S.-Mexico border. The latter came aboard following a nationwide casting search in Mexico.
The film set in South Texas, which is currently shooting in the area, follows the story of Carson Tidwell (Morse), an embittered and isolated rancher who mistakenly shoots a young, pregnant migrant girl named Irena (Bejarano) who is crossing his property. Confronted with his actions and threatened with a criminal investigation, Carson must decide whether to help Irena recuperate on his ranch or face criminal charges led by his son (Heck), an agent for the U.S. Border Patrol.
Christopher Young’s script is based on the personal experiences of Joseph Todd Walker, who is directing, in his feature debut.
