Synopsis
Doug and Tony find themselves in 1519 Yucatan during the Spanish conquest led by Cortez, where they aid locals being tortured for information about a sacred golden mask. After being captured and condemned as spies, they escape with help from a native, using explosives to slow the Spanish advance. Meanwhile, the Project team enlists a local expert, Castillano, who has a history of artifact theft, and when the mask is recovered, it causes a time lock, leading to a tense standoff.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
