So. 2023/24 I aim to make my first movie, a heist movie.

I have 2 mavericks on order, and of course will be lucky to see either. But if I do, I still need a third, base XL hybrids are the only option for the script, although three tremors could work also.

the star of the movie will be the Mavs, think the 3 Hondas from fast and furious, or the three minis from the Italian job.. so what do you think, shall I use the Mavs or wait for the 2024 Rancheros.

the cast will basically be Americans and American Latinos. It will be a multi lingual film, low budget, and a lot of jumping sand dunes in Mexico.,

please let me know your thoughts.

I cant wait to see it. Would be interested in helping with my Tremor but I live in Maui. My wife loves making amateur movies mostly for the kids, but is always improving. If for some reason you need something like a waterfall shot or island scene, let us know and we will see what we can do to help. If not keep us all posted.

It’s so good to get feedback from you. To say thank you is just not enough. At 58 yrs old jumping into movies seems insane. But I have been a salesman all my life, I’m just changing the story and the methodology. i totally appreciate the offer. And if all work out I will remember your offer for future projects.. Regards. Charles.

Where are you going to film this? Actually Mexico? There is a motorhead spanish language youtuber that pits old thick beater trucks in a mud rally in a the rio grand valley Texas.

Based on my current location, “Florida” and it’s ability to look a lot like Mexico in certain areas, it will most likely be filmed mostly in FLA. however TX offers the same benefits, apart from the cost of relocating crew and cast to location.. when I say the budget is small, I mean the cost of the Mavs will be a good chunk of the budget. .. if anything changes in that situation of course that expands potential shoot locations.. the Texas open roads and landscape offer a lot more potential than Florida, but money will control much, and camera angles to filter perspective.. lol.

again.. you feedback is highly appreciated, and I will retain all info just in case..

first movie is “Guadalupe Gold.“ (working title).

If you are planning on "jumping" any Mavericks, you'll need a lot more than 3 because you'll likely bend the frame the first time you do it. You'll also need mechanics who can disconnect all the airbags.

Lol Florida looking like Texas … which can pass as Mexico in a few places.
I have been to Florida flew North South and East West across the state and in the main part of a large city where I10 road sign and a Buckees exists no place else could pass as Texas.

Yes, the Mavs will do jumps, and I aim to buy a few damaged ones to use as the jumpers. . If he is game I know a stuntman from the dukes of hazard, Smokie and the bandit era. If he can’t I’m sure he has advice. Also I do have some longtime ford mechanics to disable airbags where needed.

Their are enclaves north of the Everglades, where they look like Mexican villages and plenty of areas that are sandy and baron, with the right camera angles, should work..
