Ocotillo Films “First to Rise” Premiere

“First to Rise” is a short film tells the story of 5th generation rancher Alyssa Martinez Hind. Alyssa breaks the mold of the stereotypical South Texas rancher. She’s tough, straightforward, and doesn’t put up with B.S. The first in a two-part series that dives deeper into telling the story of current working ranchers, rodeo talent, cowboys, and cowgirls, Ocotillo Films dives into the culture for a more honest portrayal.

Sponsors of the film, Desert Door Texas Sotol will  be sharing Alyssa’s story with you through a few intimate gatherings featuring the film and Q&A with its cast and crew at The Carpenter Hotel’s courtyard pavilion this November. Four different screenings will take place throughout the day limited to 14 people each round and stocked with tasty snacks and drinks.
