Piper: “This short film is about two girls who are also vloggers and are really interested in urban legends. They go to search for La Llorona, a weeping woman that is just like a legend that we have here in Las Cruces, to make sure kids are safe and it takes an unexpected turn.”

Piper: “Our goal is to get some of our local stories out there and to have a piece of our culture out in the world.”

Elizabeth: “My group and I had a lot of fun filming scene four. There were lots of jumps and scares. So many things happened while filming that scene, it was just overall fun and I enjoyed being with my group.”

Piper: “We think it is important to give students an opportunity to get out into the film world and to practice editing, camera work, acting, writing, and all of the skills we polished while working because it is all student-led, it’s our film. We can do whatever we want with it and it’s really helpful with exploring creative freedom.”

Liana: “I would say that the challenging parts were definitely the sun going down super fast so there was a very short window when we were able to have that sunset feel before the sun went completely down and we had to start depending solely on flashlights and lighting equipment. We also had trouble with some of the audio with microphones and making sure that everyone was hooked up without the microphones being in view.”

Piper: “Some advice I would give is to make sure that you are time-efficient and that you have a clear goal in mind while working and also to just have fun with it.”
