Interview:
David Blue Garcia,
director,

Directed by the Austin-based David Blue Garcia, the thriller Tejano finds a South Texas farmhand in such desperate need of money that he agrees to serve as a mule for a Mexican drug cartel. But things go wrong for Javi almost from the get-go, and he finds himself in trouble on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Patrick Mackie stars as Javi in Tejano, which native South Texan David Blue Garcia shot in the Rio Grande Valley and Nuevo Progreso Mexico. The cast also includes Roland Uribe as Javi’s grandfather Arturo, Mayra Leal as Javi’s Mexican girlfriend Lorena, and Adrian Gonzalez and drug cartel henchman Adelio.
