HBO, Esparza/Katz and Reynaldo’s Mexican Food Company, Inc. Prepare For The ‘WalkOut’.
July 1, 2005
Reynaldo’s Mexican Food Company, Inc. announced that HBO, Esparza/Katz Productions and Reynaldo’s will take part in the filming of the “WalkOut” set to take place on July 31, 2005.
Reynaldo’s is teaming up with the Esparza/Katz production of the “WalkOut,” an HBO film, directed by the legendary actor Edward James Olmos. Reynaldo’s will be on location, set for July 31, 2005, in the heart of downtown Los Angeles for the filming of the much anticipated movie. The film takes place in a predominantly Chicano East L.A. high school in 1968. The story focuses upon a charismatic, inspiring teacher, Sal Castro, who galvanizes his students, particularly the bright, college-bound Paula Chrisostomo, to orchestrate a widely publicized, five-school walkout when the students’ demands for a better education are summarily dismissed by their principals and the L.A. School Board.
Reynaldo’s will provide its extensive line of Mexican food for the stars, the crew and the thousands of extras who are going to take part in the march to City Hall, the pivotal moment in the film. Reynaldo’s is honored to be asked to play a role in this excellent HBO film, about an event that had such a defining impact on education for Latinos.
