Not Forgotten Director Dror Soref
Hollywood, CA—The DGA Latino Committee hosted a multi-faceted event in the Guild’s Los Angeles boardroom, honoring Israeli-born Latino Director, Dror Soref.
The morning kicked off with a networking breakfast event designed to pair up aspiring filmmakers with mentors in order to gain from their experience.
Latino Committee member, Livia Perez-Borrero, moderated a discussion with Soref about the making of his feature Not Forgotten, a film about a Tex- Mex border town couple who must face their tortured pasts in order to save their kidnapped daughter. The discussion also featured Soref’s directorial team members on Not Forgotten: 1st Assistant Director Benita Allen and 2nd AD Fred Roth, as well as Additional Photography 1st AD, Noreen Perez.
The dialogue was peppered with enlightening stories from the set, including what it was like to work with Simon Baker (The Mentalist) and Paz Vega (The Spirit). Principal photography took place in New Mexico, which substituted for Texas due to tax incentives for filmmakers. For the additional photography portion of the shoot, the production re-located to Pachuca, a town near Mexico City. Also discussed were the trials and tribulations a Director, serving as a producer as well, having to make a very tight filming schedule.
