Sands of Mexico

Samantha Hatch - director of Sands of Mexico - just tweeted: "I look at web series today like Music videos of the 90's." and I couldn't agree more! I think music videos used to be the perfect field for experimenting with different genres and styles and that's what web series are nowadays. Due to her wise words, I'd like to present Sands of Mexico today! 

The story begins with Daniel, his girlfriend and another couple coming to a Mexican villa. They're celebrating just graduating from college and find some adventures in Mexico. Daniel’s family owns the villa, but he has not been back to this place since his mother died. Months later, his cousin Sebastian comes to visit him, too. He's a soldier who is on leave from Afghanistan. And, another special visitor appears all of a sudden and surprises Daniel. Sometimes the most beautiful places contain the darkest secrets....
Check out Episode 1:


Samantha herself says about this project that it's still in its infancy. It's in a single genre based context and has low production value. But she's trying to take it to the next level by using interesting setting, richer characters, and more engaging stories. The first two episodes were shot on HDV and the last 4 were shot on the Canon 7D full HD camera. You can also help funding the post production of this web series.
