“This photograph was taken in 2021, but I sense it could have been taken in 1870. We are drawn to filming locations exuding a palpable sense of timelessness thus offering optionality on the narrative. The more remote the location, the greater the possibility for us to remove the “now” and let our imagination jump into any era over the last six or seven generations. West Texas is my West World and that is why this bleak, mournful and unforgiving canvas has such a grip on me. It is part of America that time most certainly forgot. No wonder film makers have long been lured here. Cowboys and cattle are not a new story; the partnership is one of the most enduring symbols of post-Civil War America and that is why they visually complement this landscape so effortlessly.”

PROGRAM GUESTS
Emma
In March 2020, Emma turned her high-achieving drive toward monitoring her food intake and personal fitness to cope with COVID-19. Emma’s weight had fallen off her normal growth chart progression. She was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, anxiety and depression. Several months later, Emma’s health declined even further. She was admitted to the inpatient Eating Disorders Program. When she was released, she struggled to maintain her health, and was readmitted. After her second stay, Emma was admitted to a residential eating disorders program. Emma was in the program for four months and has been on the road to recovery ever since.
Luthien was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety and admitted to the Partial Hospitalization Program at the Children’s Colorado Pediatric Mental Health Institute. After her diagnosis, she was relieved to understand what was going on in her mind – and to know that mental health specialists were there to help her. Today, Luthien and her family are dedicated to advocating for the importance of mental health care for everyone, especially access to services for underserved Latino and Hispanic populations, refugees and immigrants.
