Roy Misael Trejo- South Texas Entrepeneur

Roy Misael Trejo is bringing DIY filmmaking to South Texas.

Roy Misael Trejo, of the Alice, Texas Trejos, is a producer, writer, performer, and entrepeneur based in Corpus Christi.  There, he is actively involved in the art, music, and independent film scenes.

Roy was one of the driving forces behind the writing and creation of El Segundo.  When Hank Jacobs told Roy about a screenplay he was writing set in Texas, Roy opened up his history, his family, and his creativity to become a part of the project.  Roy brought his creative spirit, his poetic gifts, and a knowledge of Tejano music and culture to the project that grounded an ethereal story in a real time and place.

Roy has a wealth of knowledge of local ghost stories and legends, family tales of the bizarre, and a sense of the magic of the land, all of which made it into the script, and, in turn, the movie.¬† Roy also opened up the family ranches, what came to be known as “Trejo Studios”.¬† These served as the backdrop and locations for the movie.

He is currently involved in a new video store venture in Corpus Christi called “Aim For The Head”.¬† Last year, he ran a successful music video contest at the Executive Surf Club on Water Street in downtown Corpus Christi.¬† Roy is involved in numerous projects with the local community, including a series of initiatives to bring the Do It Yourself filmmaking methods to youth in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas.

Roy Misael Trejo: getting things done in and for the South Texas community.  Bringing that madcap creative spirit to a part of the world not known for it.  Living on the creative edge, so the rest of us can stay cozy, secure in the knowledge that the poetic dimensions continue to be explored for all of our benefit.
