Bayview Entertainment has locked into Aug. 10 as the DVD street date for writer/director Andrew Jara’s thriller, Borderland.
There is the frying pan. There is the fire. You know how it goes … out of the frying pan and into the fire. That’s exactly where Sara (Charlavail Effron) finds herself as murdering her abusive husband, a drug runner … the frying pan is resolved, but now she finds herself working for the local drug lord, David (David Jara) in order to keep her “crime” from bubbling to the surface. Her dead husband will be dealt with, but at a cost.
If La La Land and L.A. Confidential were love-letters to Los Angeles, then Jara’s Borderland serves as the same for the border city of El Paso, Texas. The city itself becomes one of the characters as we follow Sara up this street and down that alley.
To “buy” her freedom, Sara agrees to act as something of a mule. Since she is a local, she will pass unnoticed as she moves drug cartel underlings around the city. One of these passengers, “The Stranger” (Joe Sinclitico — The Empty Space) is a gun for hire, who is chauffeured around by Sara to take care of business. Just do the job, don’t get involved … that’s all she is thinking, but soon she finds herself helping her “ride” recover missing loot on behalf of their employer, David.
This night, this ride … it will be a blood bath as Sara and “The Stranger” move through El Paso with one thought in mind, find the money. It soon begins to dawn on Sara that her dead husband might be the “missing” clue to it all, and that can’t be good for her!!
