It was selected as the showcase film for the second evening of the 13th Annual Beverly Hills Film Festival. The indie film was completed less than two months ago.

Inspired by true events, William Forsythe (Boardwalk Empire) plays a cunning ex-con with ties to the Mexican underworld who ensnares best friends, Walter Perez (The Avengers) and Charlie Koontz (Rubber) into a daring heist to uncover a lost shipment of illegal taxidermy products in Mexico. The trio embarks on a doomed expedition south of the war-torn border. Mexican funny man and Superstar, Adal Ramones (Saving Private Perez) plays the vicious right hand henchman of a powerful Mexican underworld boss.
Road to Juarez marks the U.S. big screen debut of Mexican superstar, Ramones, who is perhaps best known for his long running Mexican TV show Otro Rollo. Primarily known as a comedic actor, the dynamic Ramones plays a psychopathic villain with an unpredictable tongue in Road to Juarez.
Described as “a cross between Motorcycle Diaries and Blow (with a little Quentin Tarantino flair), the film spans a 50 year period, has more than 55 locations and took over three years to make. It shot on location in Los Angeles and Mexico City. The film is a co-production between Marc Production Enterprises, 8th Street Films and Millennium Crop Entertainment.
