Schultz

Jillian Schultz and Leah Thompson, co-principals of the film company Two Tigers Productions, which is developing the film on Corita Kent, told me they began work on the film in 2021 and have “spent more than $300,000 and countless hours of sweat equity since that time.”

Now, they’re not sure what will happen—and as Schultz noted, “The termination of this funding also eliminates direct support to the local creative economy, as this production provided income to a team of editors, cinematographers, and producers during a particularly challenging moment in the broader entertainment industry.”

Sam Schultz, a retired international relief worker who has lived near Jacumba for nine years, once made daily deliveries of water, hot meals and blankets to migrants there.

Schultz’s son recently hauled them away because they’re no longer needed.

Schultz still visits three sites a few times a week to check if water left out for migrants needs replenishing.
