Based on a true story, EL PASAJERO is a penetrating look at the nature of violence and the effects of isolation. On New Year's Eve in Caracas, Venezuela, a desperate cab driver attempts to rob a wealthy passenger, but when the passenger offers to buy the driver's gun, it leads to a night neither of them will ever forget.

Venezuelan television legend Jorge Palacios and screen veteran Dimas González (SECUESTRO EXPRESS) star in this powerful drama from director Andrés Faucher about what happens when the lives of two men from completely different backgrounds collide at the precise moment each has reached his breaking point.

Upcoming Projects

SONERO (feature film)

A down-and-out former Salsa singer who never realized his potential gets a second chance when the care of a young boy is thrust upon him by a dying friend.

Combining the music of El Cantante, the heart of The Champ, and the gritty realism of City of God, SONERO is a story about the universe returning the favor when we take responsibility for our own lives and do the right thing.

Script complete. Anticipated to begin principal photography in mid-2009.

RECIPROCITY (feature film)

A  devoted husband and father from Oaxaca, Mexico flees poverty and civil unrest, illegally immigrating to the United States in search of a better life for his family.

A first-generation Mexican-American sheriff in the midst of a re-election campaign works to balance the conflicting interests in the ongoing battle to control illegal immigration in his border county.  

Both are decent men just trying to survive and do what they think is right.  

But when the immigrant gives up everything to save the life of a young boy he finds abandoned in the Arizona desert, and the sheriff struggles to decide whether or not to turn the immigrant over to the feds, both men are forced to reexamine their fears, prejudices and ideas about what it should mean to be "an American".

IN DEVELOPMENT.

THE STRANGER (reality/travel television series)

A tour of the "real Caribbean" as seen through the eyes of the show's charismatic and enigmatic host, Bernard Fauchier -- an idiosyncratic journeyman whose life has seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, from Emmy Award-winning producer/director, to husband of Margaux Hemingway, to living nearly penniless in the Amazon jungle.   

Visiting smaller, less-known islands, it is the Caribbean trip that Bernard’s deceased grandfather-in-law, Ernest Hemingway, would have taken: looking for the human element, culture, food and fun through tactile experience.
