Rosemary Rodriguez Instagram – Most posts in a day! I’m so excited I can’t help myself. @kralabbar and I went to #mexico with a crazy great script by @knatelee and shot #hailmary with fantastic actors and an inspired crew! We all managed to take the story of Mary, Jesus and Joseph and turn it upside down! 🚀🔥 Repost from @dtlafilmfest

Today’s the day! We’re kicking off our festival with the screening of our first feature film, Hail Mary. The screening starts at 7:30pm, and will be followed by our own festival gala! Get your tickets through the link in our bio! See you at the Regal L.A. Live theater!
About the film:
HAIL MARY is a genre-bending retelling of the Mary and Joseph story that begs the question – who are the real monsters? Maria is a 17-year-old girl from Belize who finds herself mysteriously pregnant. We find her walking, following the north star, to safety across the US/Mexican border. She’s trying to escape a deadly virus and being chased by the right-hand man of the devil (Baal). Along the way she meets Jose, a mediocre carpenter who happens to have helped build a tunnel under the Rio Grande for the Cartels. As they join forces with Gabrielle (the Angel Gabriel), the cartels and US Border Patrol join the chase. This subliminally subversive monster movie might just have unexpected fans cheering for an undocumented pregnant migrant to make it safely across the US Border. Plays with THE WOLF’S LAMENT (3 min) by Scott Cardona, the story of what happens when a new neighbor moves into the woods and disrupts the wolf’s week.
