Holly Drew (Lauren Shaw) owns “Drew’s Brews” a coffee roaster on the Oregon coast. Since childhood, she has traveled with her father to the farm of their Salvadorian coffee suppliers they’re like family. Holly’s daughter Ally (16) takes a pre-college course, spending the summer on the farm studying ways they can become more financially and environmentally efficient.
One night, Ally is violently kidnapped from the farm. Holly immediately travels to San Salvador and with the help of an “unconventional” local, Fern (David Castro), she unearths a dark human trafficking ring, linking Central American victims to a U.S. market. While they race across Central America and Mexico via “The Train of Death”, they struggle to get her daughter back before she vanishes forever. Inspired by true events.
The event will consist of a red carpet, press conference, screening, Q & A by the writer & director, Lance Tracy and the cast followed by a reception.
About David Castro
Los Angeles based David Castro has been acting since the early 1980’s and has appeared in over 100 film and television projects and 35 stage productions. He is an American actor of German, Irish and El Salvadorean descent.
David played the role of Jesus on the National Tour of “The Odd Couple” the female version, which ran from 2001-2004 and starred Barbara Eden. The show was nominated in 2002 as best comedy by The Broadway Touring Awards and eventually played throughout the US for 153 times in 49 cities, including Pittsburgh at The Byham Theater in the Cultural District.
David is proud to have participated in “Relentless” as El Salvador is his mother’s homeland and he was able to bring this important story to the screen. David’s father was born in Philadelphia, so his Pennsylvania roots go deep and connect us to this story. He plays the leading male role of Fern, the “unconventional” bad guy/hero.
He is currently co-directing and starring in the comedy pilot,“DADS!”, while preparing to reprise his role as Fern in Special Interest Agent.
“I am greatly looking forward to visiting Pittsburgh again to attend the East Coast Premiere of our film, Relentless. Many thanks to my Publicist, Lynda for putting together what will be a memorable cinematic event premiering a film about human trafficking in Central America.” says David Castro.
