As part of the 2020 Queer|Art|Mentorship based in New York City, Brian Gonzalez is creating a video experience inspired by the supernatural world of his upcoming feature film, “Those Who Didn't Run”, set in 1941 on a farm along the Texas/Mexico border. This mood is illustrated as an ongoing visual study called “Invisible Violence” that becomes a kind of visual requiem for the Mexican farmworkers who were burned alive or wounded in the routine gasoline baths at the Mexican border nearly a century ago. Coupled with audio recordings from the “I’m An American” radio show of the 1930s and 1940s that glorified American citizenship, will be ghostly images of Braceros tumbling through billows of smoke in slow motion resembling their kerosene shower, along with starkly intimate portraits of Texas Black Vultures creating a fragile tension of life and death that illuminates the human myths that drive us toward catastrophic ends.

What is Tavern Brawl?

Tavern Brawl is an upcoming live-action medieval fantasy series. While most other fantasy shows focus on the valiant knights and the brave adventurers, Tavern Brawl turns those tropes on their heads by focusing on the people stuck cleaning up their messes. Tavern Brawl is created by James Murray V and John Shaw, who’s Kickstarter was successfully funded in 48hrs in March of 2020. Tavern Brawl is an episodic drama/comedy following Oscar, a tavernkeep, and his sister Aella, as they struggle to keep up the Tavern left to them by their mother. Through ups and downs, Aella and Oscar struggle to maintain a united front against all manner of problems, grievances, and even magic.

When/Where will this be filmed?

Although its hard to say for certain due to COVID-19, we anticipate filming April 2021 and are looking for people with general availability during that time. We are willing to accommodate most schedules! The Tavern Brawl pilot will be filmed entirely in the beautiful Pacific Northwest (Salem, Oregon).

What roles are you casting?

During our first round of auditions, we are casting our 3 lead (Oscar, Aella, Kira) and 3 supporting roles (Gladwind, Baldwin, Ashe).

Our story follows the owners of The Wayfarers Rest Tavern, Oscar, and Aella. After inheriting the tavern from their parents, they struggle to keep the family business afloat. In addition to adventurers constantly wrecking their tavern, the newly appointed Lord of Mulbury has instated a "Brawl Tax". With rumors of slavers keeping travelers off the roads, Oscar and Aella lose money every night as the lord's purse gets heavier. Though the problems Oscar and Aella face seem dire, tales of the Wayfarers comfort them in their darkest times.

While most fantasy stories focus on the valiant knights and brave heroes, Tavern Brawl is a new kind of story that brings the often ignored background characters to the forefront. Through unusual characters, sophisticated worldbuilding, and innovative storytelling, Tavern Brawl takes classic fantasy tropes and turns them on their heads.
