Any plans for a showing in SoCal?

Let us know if/when it comes out on DVD.

Can't wait to see the full film, looks really good. I'll have to wait for a DVD as well.

If you talk to them tell them to try contacting the Digital Gym in San Diego. They are a small space that might be a good fit.

What is it? How's it work?

Hey David, thanks for posting this here - yes, please come join us on March 10th!

We're showing our full feature film in The Nat's IMAX theater, and will follow it up with a 45min Q&A. We're really excited to finally be bringing this movie to SoCal and look forward to meeting any Nomads that would like to come and join us.

We also have a small event Friday Jan. 24th at The Nat where we'll do a short talk and show a couple clips from the film. This is part of their Secret Society of Adultologists event, where they open up the museum to grown-ups, serve them drinks, and we can all hang out and talk about science.

Hope to see you there!

When or how will the rest of the world be able to see this?

David K - 1-22-2020 at 10:26 PM

Hopefully, a feature film distributor will pick it up. Until then, the producers will keep showing it at film festivals and museums, etc.

Side note, I just learned I am in the film chatting about El Camino Real, and so is Graham. They came to my hometown a couple years ago to interview me but I didn't know that it made the final cut until I talked to Todd Bruce on the phone this week. They did use my book for historic data... Pancho of San Rafael gave them a copy I had given him in 2017.

Letter from the producer... San Diego March 10, & San Luis Obispo March 19, 20, 21.

David K - 2-28-2020 at 09:13 AM

Hello David;

I am not sure if you know already, but our film, The Devil's Road, has been selected to the San Luis Obispo Film Festival and, as you know, will be shown at the San Diego Natural History Museum. We have been submitting to as many film festivals as monetarily possible and have a few more that we are in consideration. We are still very hopeful that more festivals will find our film worthy of selection and may show closer to you again. Please share this information with other Baja enthusiasts, etc.

Your work and input in our film project has been invaluable and we want to share this experience with you.

On March 10th, we will be in San Diego where the film will be featured during an exclusive showing in their "I-Max" type theater. The doors open at 5:30 and the show starts at 6:30. Following the show there will be a 45 minute Question and Answer session with a few of the scientists featured in the film and our filmmakers. Advanced tickets can be purchased at: https://www.sdnhm.org/calendar/public-programs/nattalks-and-...


Then, on March 19 - 22, we will be showing the film three times during the SLO Film Festival. The times and dates of the shows are as follows:

• Thursday March 19 at 4:30pm

• Saturday March 21 at 10:00am

• Sunday March 22 at 3:00pm

If you want to join us, all of the showing will be at the Downtown Centre Cinemas at 888 Marsh Street and I would suggest arriving 30 minutes early to ensure a ticket. Advanced tickets may be sold through the SLO Film Festival website.


We are so excited and hope to see you at a showing in the future and please let me know if you are planning to attend so we can visit and share this moment with you. If you have any questions, please give me a call. See you in San Diego on the 10th

Thanks for the details!

I'll be attending with a friend- we plan to travel south in a few weeks to enjoy whales, berrendos and other sights.

David K - 2-29-2020 at 05:03 PM

Great... If you see Baja Angel and I there, say hi! :light:

Whale-ista - 3-10-2020 at 11:33 PM

Wonderful movie- my friend and I found it to be a good prep for a trip SB end of March.

It will add to our appreciation of the real thing.

pandesol - 3-11-2020 at 09:11 AM

I attended this premier with my family...it was a really cool film...wish I could have stayed for the panel discussion.

David K - 3-11-2020 at 09:38 AM

Wow!!! It was a FULL HOUSE... I am so happy for Todd Bruce and his kids (JT and Bri) to have done so well with it.

The panel discussion was fun to hear the questions and comments of appreciation folks had for the film.

Baja Angel and I were in the top-middle section, as it was almost full when we got in.

Sitting behind us in the top row was Jesse from the TV show in4Lo (which we will be filming him and some of his Toyota 4x4 friends in a new episode going to Mission Santa María, this Spring).

Sitting in the row just below us was Vern, "El Vergel" here on Nomad. Vern and I did the Lost Mission search in 2011 in Arroyo El Volcán with TW & Bill, XRPhil, bajalou, and BAJACAT.

Also, down near the bottom row was Curt LeDuc (Off Road racing champion) who was enroute to Shari's Whale Magic experience.

Geoff of Baja Bound Insurance was there with his little daughter, Zella.

Sorry we didn't meet other Nomads... with so many people there. I think it was great that the show was a sell-out and hope to meet you all at another venue!

A really wonderful part of the film was how much they honored Pancho of San Rafael... The family had known Pancho since the 1990s and they included a lot of Pancho speaking... and the sad note that during the production learned about him passing away.

Roli (Mama Espinoza's daughter), Carolina Espinoza (L.A. Bay museum), and others were interviewed...

Oh, I finally saw what part I had in the film... I spoke for a few seconds about the missions!

I asked Todd and JT about the future release of a DVD so more could enjoy it. They told me they want to first try and show it at as many theaters, museums, and film festivals, first. So maybe 1-2 years from now a DVD will be available?
