The web series Luck and the Virgin (La Suerte y la Virgen) is a 60 second soap that takes you on a wild ride of how things can go very wrong in a small Mexican city. It's shot completely on location in the colonial city of San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato and each episode is in both Spanish and English with subtitles.
Here is a sneak peek:
The comedy crime series is about Ricardo - a burnt out hit man with a funny accent - and Valentina - a clueless woman who is running from her boyfriend with all his drug money. They end up getting involved in some unfortunate ways after their bags are switched accidently at a tamale stand.....
What sets this series apart from anything else out there, is that every single episode is no longer than 60 seconds long, including short recaps.
Writer and director, Jaime Byrd, of Blind Lyle Films, took on a large Latin endevour with this Mexico based webisode and got selected for L.A. Web Fest in 2010. The second season is coming up soon!
