Descanso

Archie, the owner of a road construction business dreads possible complications with his first child. Lost in worry, he loathes the notion of another roadside cross obstructing his crew. Meanwhile, a family, struggling with loss, is notified that their descanso must be moved. They rush to save their memorial before it is destroyed. Two roads cross as Archie learns how important descansos are, and that with every end, there is a beginning.

Director Biography - Ron Weisberg

Ron studied acting and writing at the University of Texas in Austin and moved to New Mexico in 2010 to create his own work and be close to family. Soon after arriving, he began acting and teaching acting in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. His thirst for storytelling and ability to communicate with actors naturally led him into directing. Ron decided "Descanso" was a great opportunity to help one of his best students, actor/writer Christopher W. Garcia, get on screen as well as debut Ron's skills as a director. Now, after a few short films under his belt, Ron travels between in Los Angeles and New Mexico pursuing his storytelling career.
