About

Building on the success of our first feature film, Runnin’ At Midnite, we are excited to announce Project Libertad, a unique initiative whose mission is to create art free of the confines of the established system, and to give a voice to those who have traditionally been denied access to film, photography and design.

Our unique model provides educational opportunities to youth through free filmmaking workshops held before & during each project. Our goal is to inspire members of a community to take part in the creative process while encouraging youth to learn alongside professionals.

The cornerstone of the project is the feature film Libertad, a hard hitting drama that explores the shanty towns populating the border of Mexico and the United States.

Help us as we set out to redefine the nature of storytelling, where studios and box-office names no longer dictate which voices get heard. Filmmaking has the power to educate minds, stimulate thought, and galvanize cultures. In other words, it liberates.

Contact us and learn how you can become part of the movement.

Previous Project
From Director Pablo Toledo comes the hard hitting drama of five inner city kids trying to escape the dangers of the ghetto through a police-sponsored midnight basketball league.

High school basketball phenom Brandon Quhuis (Manny Vidal) is forced to choose between a promising hoop career or join his brother Louie (Robert Zepeda) on the streets. Circles (Alexis Levario), a wild kid determined to go straight, starts to question his very existence once he is banned from the midnight league. Junior College Star Darryl King (Michael Clark), suffers a career ending injury and turns to the streets for solace but only finds misery. Finally, when the mere existence of the basketball league is threatened, all involved must reach deep inside and find the answer to the ultimate question: how to run at midnight and survive.

The film, shot in HDTV using real youth from Tucson’s tough south-side neighborhood, chronicles the contemporary urban Latino and African American experience.

It has screened at film festivals and theaters around the globe, such as HBO’s Urbanworld Film Festival in NYC and The Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival in Los Angeles. The movie is rated R for strong language and mild violence and is currently in nationwide DVD and Home Video Release.
