FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER TO ANNOUNCE NEW FEATURE FILM PROJECT
& YOUTH EMPOWERMENT INITIATIVE IN LOS ANGELES
Event Celebration & Fundraiser to be held in Venice – May 10th

Venice, CA - Pablo Toledo, the inspiration behind the successful independent film Runnin’ at Midnite, and
his newly founded creative entity, The Good Fight Creative (TGFC), are set to announce their new feature
film project entitled Libertad, a film about life on the US/Mexican border. A cocktail reception to raise funds
and awareness for project will be held on May 10th, 2008 in Venice.

In addition to the film, Toledo is announcing the creation of “Project Lib-

ertad”, an effort to engage and empower youth by holding free filmmak-
ing and photography workshops in conjunction with Libertad’s produc-
tion. Professional filmmakers and photographer will travel from LA to
Mexico to work with the youth to teach them film and video skills, and
then mentor them throughout the production of “Libertad”.

Writer & Director Pablo Toledo: “Since our first film we’ve received nu-
merous requests to create another film that engaged people on the
same level as Runnin’ At Midnite, one that really takes a hard look at
parts of our society that are underrepresented. Libertad is that film.”

Libertad tells the story of Felipe Vargas, an American detective who re-
turns to his hometown on the border in Mexico to exonerate a troubled
brother suspected of committing multiple murders and the transforming
friendship he forms with a local orphan boy during his investigation.

According to Toledo, central to the film is the plight of homeless children who inhabit many of the colonias
and shantytowns along the US/Mexico border.

Writer & Director Pablo Toledo: “In doing my research for Libertad it amazed me how many families are
ripped apart because of immigration. How many kids are left behind to fend for themselves, and how these
kids survive in some of harshest environments around. It really compelled me to explore it deeper”.

Producer Laura Gatewood: “Because Project Libertad is essentially a ground-up, community based effort,
the execution of this film and workshops will depend on the generosity of our supporters. It’s a win-win situ-
ation, as we see it. Help us bring to life films that Hollywood wouldn’t and couldn’t make…allow us to reach
out and engage youth….and it’s all tax deductible”.
