DESCRIPTION

Christian Sesma is a fellow Coachella Valley resident and it’s heartwarming that the accomplished director always gives back to the community every time he’s making a new movie. Sesma’s new flick, “The Night Crew,” is being shot in the valley, and not only did he hire his desert crew, he also partnered with a non-profit organization to help with some aspects of the movie’s production design.

I sat down with the director before for his “Shoot the Hero,” and now, I officially visited his set to talk about “The Night Crew” and its community involvement. The film, co-written by Paul Sloan (who also stars in the film) and Sesma, stars Danny Trejo (“Machete” movies), Jason Mewes (“Clerks” movies, “Shoot the Hero”), Bokeem Woodbine (“Riddick,” “Total Recall”) and Luke Goss (“Hellboy II: The Golden Army,” “Death Race” sequels). “The Night Crew” is slated for release summer of 2014.
