Production for my next Lowrider film kicked off yesterday in Chimayo, New Mexico! šš½ š„
Bobby Chacon was born and raised in Chimayo, New Mexico, and has spent decades accumulating what I can only describe as a FLEET of beautiful lowriders. My jaw was dropped the entire time we toured his property. NINE 1959 Impalas⦠SIX 1958 Impalas⦠at least a dozen Bombs, other Impalas ranging from 60-64⦠etc etc. Only 1 of these cars was inherited from his dad. The rest he himself labored for and acquired over the decades. Parts cars. Projects cars. Street cars. I couldnāt believe what I was seeing. Maybe a total of somewhere around 40 cars on this property and more on other properties. Unbelievable collection!!
As I interviewed Bobby, what struck me was his humble spirit, his devotion to his family, and his connection to the Chimayo community. An added plus was hearing the Acequia de Santa Cruz running through Bobbyās property as we conducted his interview. Lowriders, acequias, and the 200+ year old Santuario del Chimayo?!! WELCOME TO NORTHERN NEW MEXICO!! š
Though this will be a Lowrider film at its core, it will also give me the opportunity to highlight the beauty, history, and lifestyle of rural communities in my home state of New Mexico. If youāve been following my work for some time, you will LOVE this story! It intersects many of the things I love to feature in my films.
We have several more days of production ahead of us but starting is always the hardest part. I will update you as we go!
