Producing and funding a full-length feature film is no easy thing on a shoestring budget but as they get closer to the final release, here is their
official trailer, and our late amigo Pancho at BahÃa San Rafael has a part in it:
Their Facebook post today:
IT'S OFFICIAL! The long-awaited WORLD PREMIERE of The Devil's Road will be happening right in our home town of Santa Cruz at the Rio Theatre on
Saturday, April 27th at 5:30pm. Tickets go on sale today and can be purchased at https://thedevilsroad.brownpapertickets.com/ #devilsroadfilm
DK, thanks for staying between the lines, that is what this
site is about. I feel like I have to search to find Baja related
posts, seems many posts have strayed way off course, they
belong in some chat room, not what D Means had in mind. Many may not be interested in Baja history, early exploration,
I enjoy it. Maybe it will work it's way so., like San Diego
De nada. The Santa Cruz showing is for them and their fans in the area... Let's hope that a nation wide distributor picks it up so we can see it on
the big screen, locally!
Hey David, thanks for posting this! I'm JT, the film's director - we are planning to take this movie on the road after our premiere, so hopefully
those in Southern California will be able to come out and see it. Right now we're in talks with the San Diego Natural History Museum to screen it at
their theater, and we will likely screen in LA at some point as well.
David K has a small appearance in the film, and Pancho has a somewhat larger one - his sense of humor and observations about the state of the
environment near his home form a pivotal scene in the movie.
Retracing the footsteps of those early explorers sounds enticing.
However, I am missing the sensibility and seriousness an undertaking like this would take.
Sort of anti-climatic without hearing if there will be film distribution or at least a TV showing... WE WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE!
"anti-climatic". I'm assuming you meant "anticlimactic", but the irony of your error cracks me up. The producers of this film speak with solid
education and authority about the reality of man-made climate change and the impact it's had on the delicate ecosystems of Baja. So, the fact that you
are still a denier of the science of climate change may leave you in an anticlimactic state while you wander away from the film in an anti-climatic
myopia.
Like you, I can't wait to see the rest of the movie.
I guess since some of you don't know about the 1905 Expedition, it may be a bit far off. These guys simply wanted to show what has changed in Baja in
the past 110 years at the same places Nelson and Goldman went to.
The Devil's Highway (name) simply refers to how difficult travel in this desert land was (and still is to some places).
Dogs, yes, I blew it on the spelling. Once you accept that science is the actual observed facts and not far off forecasting (none have come true), by
government and leftists paid hacks who have never been outside of their offices, then you might appreciate what is and what was, far more than what
might be.

I don't think you miss-spelled it. I think you just didn't know and hopefully you learned something new. Right wingers aren't known for changing their
mind or learning something new (you started it!). The second sentence though... You're an author?
Chatting on a message board is hardly an academic work. Nobody is paying me for my time here. I am sorry you are unable to have a friendly, casual
conversation without making it a place to act superior. How about just enjoying ideas or learning, as I do here?
There's a "Devils Road" in Arizona that stretches between Yuma and Ajo appropriately named "Camino Del Diablo"
The name perked my curiosity so I researched it then rode it with a friend on dirt bikes.
It's a historic 250-mile (400 km) road that currently extends through some of the most remote and arid terrain of the Sonoran Desert in Pima County
and Yuma County, Arizona. In use for at least 1,000 years, El Camino del Diablo is believed to have started as a series of footpaths used by
desert-dwelling Native Americans. From the 16th to the 19th centuries, the road was used extensively by conquistadores, explorers, missionaries,
settlers, miners, and cartographers. Use of the trail declined sharply after the railroad reached Yuma in 1870. In recognition of its historic
significance, El Camino del Diablo was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It has also been designated a Bureau of Land
Management Back Country Byway.
It's also claimed the lives of over 2000 people.
The name, like its other historic name Camino del Muerto, ("road of the dead") refers to the harsh, unforgiving conditions on trail.
If I have an opportunity, I'll go see the film, because it's perked my curiosity. Maybe there'll be a DVD version of it some day too....

DK, You shill your books here, so YOU are hoping to get paid.....
and you try to take a "superior" position either by taking a victim stance or the "expert" stance....
and your "enjoying ideas or learning, as I do here" is a narrow scope....just read some of your responses to ideas different than those you
espouse....
And "Chatting on a message board is hardly an academic work" ...
I agree with you on that....your publications are such "chats"
You know some nice people made this film and I am just sharing their work. Why a few here need to have so much drama that they insult contributors
here (not just me) to get jollies is beyond my understanding. Why the hate, or negativity? Some people make an effort to share their love for Baja by
either posting a trip report, or writing a book, or making a movie. If you don't want to read or see that then fine but do you need to make insults?
Sorry, at my age, I don't understand you kids or how you enjoy life with so much anger.
