"The Love Hex or Nicest Flings in Mexico" screenplay wins Gold at Depth of Field Festival

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - EntSun -- There are many things in life that we don't quite understand, such as love, enchantment, and magic spells. The screenplay Comedy "The Love Hex or Nicest Flings in Mexico" by Mike Meier explores them, and with that won Gold at the Summer 2020 Depth Of Field International Film Festival (DOFIFF). In brief, the story takes place in 1929, shortly before the Great Depression. Two American ladies seek healing in the hot springs of Mexico and find love with Mexican gigolos.

Mike Meier explains where the idea for the story came from: "In this case, it goes back to the early 1990s when I was a student. I once listened to a program on National Public Radio (NPR) where a young lady discussed some of her Social Studies research for her Ph.D. thesis. She mentioned that in the earlier part of the century, American women traveled to the Mexico hot springs for health treatments. Sometimes illicit relationships with young Mexican gigolos ensued. I was immediately intrigued."
