RGV movie brings awareness to child abductions

HARLINGEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — The movie "Find Me", filmed entirely in the Rio Grande Valley, debuted on Amazon Prime Thursday evening.

The movie stars Raylin Francois as Detective Roman Saint who investigates missing children. Making a special appearance is Weslaco native and boxing champion Brandon "Heartbreaker" Figueroa.

Hugo Rodriguez, the co-director of "Find Me" says, "We're excited, we're happy for it and we're just excited to see and hear people's feedback, see what they think. What we were able to do with so little money, it's amazing."

"It was tough. It was really difficult. Just trying to get everyone together and get everyone on the same page," said Francois. "To be honest I was truly blessed and truly honored. I appreciate everyone who worked with us. We had a lot of challenges, and a lot of difficulties just to go ahead and get everything together. The hardest part about it was the funding. I had to work overtime to make about $5,000 to $6,000 just to fund the movie."
