Jose Angel Films. As a photographer and filmmaker very early on in life I knew that I wanted to create and tell stories with my photography and filmmaking, I was heavily influenced by these great mentors and legends Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Pedro Pablo Ibarra and Guillermo del Toro, Mexico's finest. So it only made sense that I would go on to create a short story about my culture, heritage and traditions as a proud Mexican. Hopefully this short story inspires you and motivates you to visit our beautiful Mexico and everything we have to offer. I also wanted to take the time for this special moment to dedicate this story to my dear parents may they rest in peace. Thank you for always instilling in me the importance of being a proud Mexican.

Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico
Director, actress & producer: Eva Longoria
“We just wrapped production on Searching for Mexico and I can’t wait for everyone to join us on what was the adventure of a lifetime,” said Eva Longoria. “CNN has always been a destination for exceptional programming and I’m so excited for everyone to join me in falling in love with the hidden gems we discovered in Mexico.” Mexican food can be found in every corner of the world, but its origins tell the story of culture and people deeply connected to the land and spirit of their country. This new CNN Original Series follows Longoria as she traverses Mexico exploring one of the most popular, and arguably misunderstood, global cuisines. From harvesting blue agave for tequila as the Aztecs once did, to slow cooking traditional mole sauce in Oaxaca, join Longoria as she journeys across the many vibrant regions of Mexico to reveal its unique and colorful cuisines.
It all begins with an idea. Storytelling is a form of art that we all enjoy and takes us into a journey of sequence of events from the opening scene to the climax and ending in a closing scene. Check out some of the past, present and future film releases.
