Coming Soon

Wanda - in production - Wanda - Dr. Hector P. Garcia's Rock

Wanda - Dr. Hector P. Garcia's Rock hybrid-documentary film, interwoven with original poetry and music, about the late Mrs. Dr. Hector P. Garcia, Wanda--the force behind the civil rights pioneer, who had a great impact on civil rights - is currently in postproduction and scheduled to be released sometime in 2025. The film, which will include the last known extensive interview with Mrs. Garcia, will focus on Dr. Hector P. Garcia's family life and the battle for civil rights at a time of rampant discrimination against Mexican Americans. Moreover, the film will question whether systemic racism is rearing its head again in light of today's drive to eliminate affirmative action.


	The Pluma Pictures board of directors has approved three feature films for production: Just Like a Dog Brandon — a happily married man with two lovely children—is forced to face the deep emotional wounds and scars of his childhood inflicted upon him by his sadistic parents when he sets out to see his brother, Marty, whom he hasn’t seen in 27 years, before his younger brother is executed for murder. Marty’s execution is integral to Brandon facing the demons of his past, which illustrates that violence begets violence. Killing whether committed by an individual or by the state has dire consequences.
	Healer Eleanor — a world-renowned heart surgeon and inventor of a highly promising mechanical heart—falls into the abyss of depression and questions her sanity as a result of losing a patient on the operating table due to a lack of judgment. After a seemingly impossible struggle and the assistance of a Healer, Eleanor learns that she is to replace one of three healers in the world with the spiritual charge of keeping pestilence at bay.
	Day of Darkness is a fable about how Queen Joanna, ruler of a mighty nation, which existed before humanity, learns how to love at the risk of losing her kingdom and the destruction of her people.

Our ancestors gathered around the fire to hear and share stories. Today, we gather in dark theaters and around television sets and computers to do the same. Stories are not just information;
they are life-giving and empowering or not......
