TIJUANA – A suspense series set in the wine country of Valle del Guadalupe begins Monday through the Internet.

"El Porvenir" consists of seven, 10-minute episodes in HD that can be viewed at www.elporvenirlaserie.com.

Local filmmakers -- producer Miguel García-Yee and director Manuel Alejandro Anell – wanted a way to disseminate their work at a low cost. They started filming a year ago, with each episode costing between $1,000 and $1,500.

"It's a television series, but made for a massive medium like the Internet," said García-Yee. "It's an alternative since it's tough to do movies or TV shows."

With a total of 19 actors and supported by Vigilante Films, the series was shot in the towns of Francisco Sarco, El Porvenir and San Antonio de las Minas arround the vineyards.

"The goal has always been to entertain the public. But our expectation is to make our work known in the entertainment world," the producer said.

The plot revolves around several murders and the disappearance of several people. The actors include Joaquín Romero, Daniel Cosío and Enrique St. Martin.

The music in the series is by Tijuana composer Guillermo Moran-Arreola and by the band Calacas Blues from Costa Rica. The original theme of "Todo lo que veo" is from the band Zubs.

The series also will be transmitted in Spain through www.escalofrio.com and in Paraguay through www.remojito.tv.
