Published bi-weekly by Beeville Publishing Co.

When Elias Bondoc moved his family from Laredo to Beeville, he quickly realized some-thing was missing.

“We moved to Beeville three years ago,” Bondoc said. “Down in Laredo we’re used to having our corn shops on every block. And we realized there wasn’t any here, and when we mentioned it to our friends here, no one knew what it was all about. They’ve never tasted it. So we decided to give it a shot and open it and see if people like it.”

EJ’s Corn House is a small trailer located on North Adams Street across from the local Super Walmart.

It sits on a lot all by itself with a few Christmas lights wrapped around the surrounding trees.

“I just thought it was a good place. Originally, we were on the south side by the one of the Pantry stores.

“I mentioned it to the owner of the Pantry store, and he knew about it because he’s originally from that area, and he said if we needed to we could start up there.”

So he opened up for a while on the south side of Beeville before relocating to an area with a lot more traffic, especially around the holiday season.

And since it is a small trailer, he’s moved it around to some of the local events like the Diez y Seis de Septiembre parade and festival.

Bringing a taste of Mexico to the locals just began to seem like a good idea to Bondoc after liv-ing in Beeville for a little while.

“We found out that there are a lot of people in Beeville that are origi-nally from the Valley or from Laredo that grew up going to corn shops, and now that they’ve moved this way they don’t get to have that anymore.

“People are saying that they’re remember-ing their home when they visit our corn house.”

But the corn house has more than just roasted corn. They have nachos, Frito pies, flaming hot Cheetos covered with cheese, pickles as well as Mexican sodas and candies for an authentic Mexican experience.

The response has been positive, and the Corn House has been gaining popularity over the past few months; so will we see a second trailer else-where in the city?

“We’re pretty much going to wait right now. It’s been talked about, but we’re going to wait to see what the response is on this one.”

Parents seem to be excitedly taking their children there to intro-duce a pastime they grew up with.

“We get that a lot. And sometimes it’s the kids that are interested in what we have, so they bring their parents.

“It works both ways.”

And though Bondoc has been running small busi-nesses most of his life, opening the corn shop wasn’t something he’s sure he wanted to do.

“We’ve done small busi-ness for a long time. We did a lot of small busi-nesses in Laredo, and we promised each other we

wouldn’t do it when we came over here.

“We wanted more time to be a family and more time for the family, but when I moved over here, my work is not as busy as it was down there, so we found out we had enough time to do something like this.

“Small business is in our blood, so we had to do it.”

The corn house is open from noon until around

8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, unless some-thing comes up that deals with his family, which is really important to Bondoc.

“For us, it’s family that comes first. For the holi-days, we want to spend as much time with family as possible. That’s why we

don’t open on Sundays—so we can spend time with the family and go to church.”

And as the corn house expands its customer base, he seems content with being able to share his hometown favorite with all the locals.

“We just really want-

ed Beeville to get a taste of it. We’ve had a pretty good response, so we’re pretty happy.”

And all who visit their families in Beeville for the holidays also can share in a taste of Mexico.

Even if it’s just a small one.

orpus Christi native Brianna Blasingame, who also goes by Bee, has been modeling for quite some

time. She’s graced the pages of some of the most well-known alternative magazines like Beau Nu, Riot Vixen and The Petite Alternative to name a few.

You’ve probably even seen the 5’4” pixie-thin tattooed model at concerts and events around Corpus as part of the BOSSY Entertainment team.

But this holiday she’s strut-ting her stuff for charity, and STXscene took the opportunity to get to know her a little bet-ter.

STXscene: Do you do model full time or is it just something you do on the side?

Bee Blasingame: My mod-eling and dancing are both hob-bies that I’m very passionate about, but I have no hopes of making them a full-time gig. As much as I love my hobbies, I know it’s not something I will always be able to do. So I’m just enjoying it while I can.

STX: How did you start mod-

eling?BB: My modeling first start-

ed when I was signed to a local “agency” at the age of 14. However, I quickly learned that I would be better off as a free-lance model and was released from my contract.

Once this happened, I dedi-cated my time to networking and building up a diverse port-folio that I could be proud of.

STX: What do your family and friends think about your modeling?

BB: My family and friends are both incredibly supportive. They may not always be too fond of the theme of a shoot or gig, but they have always remained support-ive, and for that I am beyond grateful.

STX: How long have you been in the modeling game?

BB: I’ll be turning 21 this January, so going on seven years.

STX: You seem to do all kinds of mod-eling. What’s your

favorite? Sexy, gore, fashion?BB: That’s a tough one. I love

shooting all genres, but I think my top three would have to be: Alternative fashion, horror/gore and promo work.

STX: You make a lot of pub-lic appearances at clubs and events. What were some of the coolest things you’ve done?

BB: Oh, boy, there have been so many experiences I’ve been grateful for. One of my favor-ites was dancing for Harley-Davidson during the Night of The Living Dreads tour and then getting to meet Ginger and Piggy D of Rob Zombie. The energy of everyone that night was just incredible. Performing at The Aokify tour was another one I really enjoyed. Concrete Street in general has been a blast to preform at.

STX: Do you have any funny or interesting stories about a shoot?

BB: The first one that comes to mind was one during a shoot with Jason Page a few years ago. We had everything ready to start shooting, and at that exact moment a seagull decided it needed to relieve itself all over my shoulder.

That darn bird’s timing couldn’t have been any worse.

STX: I know you’re a pretty thin girl, so do you work out and try to eat healthy to stay in shape?

BB: I am absolutely awful at eating healthy, but I try to stay in shape by working out, danc-ing and hula hooping.

STX: What is BOSSY Entertainment, and how did you get involved with them?

BB: BOSSY Entertainment

is Corpus Christi’s first Go-Go troupe.

We offer a wide range of tal-ents such as dance/hoop per-formances, event hosting, pro-motions, video vixens, pudding wrestling, volunteer work and much more.

I got involved with them after meeting the founder, Brittney Cassle, through Facebook. After working my first event with them I was hooked and eventually ended up becoming team captain.

The ladies who make up BOSSY Entertainment are all amazing women that I am so proud to call my sisters.

STX: Tell me a bit about the toy drive benefit you’re helping out with?

BB: BOSSY Entertainment is teaming up with Quadbeat Productions, Aria Sky Terrace & Lounge and The USMC this Christmas.

Everyone involved is extremely anxious to be help-ing out and are hoping that community will be too.

If you’ll be in the area, please stop by Aria and join us on Dec. 19th. A brand new unwrapped toy or cash donation will get you in the door for a night full of fun.

Come out and help make this Christmas special for these kid-dos.

STX: Is helping out people something you’re actively try-ing to do, or if it happens it happens?

BB: It is definitely something I’ll be actively trying to do from here on out.

Our Toys For Tots event is just one of the many charity

events we plan on doing this year.

STX: What can you tell peo-ple interested in doing what you do?

BB: Never let someone’s harsh words affect how you see yourself. There are a lot of mean-spirited people in the world who will try to discour-age you, but as long as you love yourself and surround yourself with positive people, you will be just fine.

If it’s something you love, don’t let anything stand in your way.

P. 4 DECEMBER 9-23, 2013

Dallas Filmmaker David Lowery has made numer-ous short films

and a couple of feature films, but it’s his 2012 feature “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” that has everyone still talking.

It scooped up awards as it swept through the Sundance and Cannes film festivals among numerous others all over the world.

Lowery is also known as a very efficient edi-tor and, along with edit-ing all of his own films, has been tapped by other filmmakers to help out editing their projects as well.

One of the these proj-ects was Shane Caruth’s “Upstream Color,” which is a dizzyingly stream of conciseness, beautifully shot film in the vein of anything Terrance Malick

has made of late.

Editing that feature seemed as if it was a very taxing process, but Lowery said it wasn’t the case.

“I mean, really, it was simple. It was remark-ably easier than cutting my movie that’s for sure,” Lowery said laughing. “He had the scene numbers, so I just looked at scene number one and looked at all the shots that were

there and kind of figured out how they were sup-posed to fit together.

“I was working alone for the first few months because he was still shooting, so I would just work on it until I fig-ured out what he wanted, and I figured it out pretty quickly how it needed to be cut together, and then it was very organic and free flowing.

“And by free flowing I don’t mean it was ran-dom; everything was pre-cise and had a reason, and every shot was there for a reason and flowed together so well.

“It was a lot of long hours, a lot of really just sort of pushing myself to the limit in terms of try-ing to get the movie done; there was just so much footage, but at the same time, I was able to work intuitively in a way that too often you don’t get to.

“A lot of the times you’re trying to fix prob-lems or create logical con-sistencies, and in the case of Shane’s movie, every-thing was already there.”

Lowery has only ever worked with non-actors on all of his projects, and his closest big time experi-ence was with “Upstream Color” as it was Caruth’s first film since his Sundance breakout film “Primer” nearly 10 years ago.

But that all changed after he wrote “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints.”

“It came from a bunch of different places. I don’t think any story or any movie comes from one specific place.

“I mean, you have an idea, and that might eventually merged with another idea, and gradu-ally you realize that you have a bunch of ideas that fit together in a nice way,

and they start turning like wheels in your head and gradually become a story, and that story eventually demands to be written down, and then you write it, and then you shoot it,” Lowery chuck-led.

“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” is about a young couple, played by Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara, who just want a better life with each other and decide to go on a crime spree to get enough money to start their fam-ily, as Mara’s character is pregnant.

After a shoot-out with the police, Affleck’s char-acter gives himself up to save his lover and gets sent to prison. He escapes

and makes plans to run away with the woman he loves and their now-infant child, but the town sheriff, Ben Foster, has different plans.

So, after the story had been laid out and script written, there was only one thing to do, and that was cast the film.

“My agent asked me if I could cast anybody, who would I want to be in this movie. And Casey (Affleck) was at the top of my list. I thought he’d be perfect for the role.

“I always thought it would be a hard process and take a long time or be difficult or impossible to get through to them, but in this case we just sent the script to him, and I flew out to L.A. and met him, and the next day he wrote me an email and said he wanted to do it. It ended up being remark-ably easy, and I don’t think that will always be the case. Maybe it will be, but in this case it was just really smooth and easy and natural.”

Soon after, Rooney Mara (“Girl with a Dragon Tattoo”), Ben Foster (“3:10 to Yuma”) and Keith Carradine

(“Nashville”) were all on board and on set ready to film.

And for the first time in his filmmaking career, Lowery had an A-list, Oscar-nominated cast at his disposal.

Intimidating much?“You meet these people

and realize that, aside from the fact that you’ve seen them in movies before, they’re just nor-mal people. Then it’s just kind of hanging out with friends.

“I always try to make my productions feel like summer camp. Like you’re just hanging out with peo-ple you want to hang out with. Casey, Rooney and Ben all fit very naturally into that. There was no sort of pretense. No sort of hierarchy. It was very much a case of everyone joining up, getting in this together, rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty and working hard to make the movie we all felt like making.”

To score the film, Lowery once again called on his good friend Daniel Hart with whom he’s worked on numerous of his short film projects.

TEXAS BORNHOLLYWOOD BOUND

an interview with David Loweryby Paul Gonzales

‘It came from a bunch of different

places. I don’t think any story or any movie comes from one specific

place.’

‘You meet these people and realize that

aside from the fact that you’ve seen them in

movies before, there just

normal people.’

P. 5So, what was differ-

ent about working with Hart this time around—besides having a famous cast and a larger budget?

Lowery laughed, “Mainly just that we had more music because the movie was longer.

“Of course, when you’re making a movie with a bigger budget with name actors and such, it’s going to be different. It’s going to be bigger; there’s going to be things that don’t work the way you want them to, things that you can suddenly do that you weren’t able to do before.

“He’s (Hart’s) some-one I don’t really have to give many notes to. I just let him run, and he makes things that make me look better as a filmmaker because he intuitively gets what the movie needs.”

Actor Ben Foster also got his chance to sing a bit in the film, though it was a complete surprise to him when Lowery just got the idea to let him try it, and they created a scene to allow the actor to shine.

“It wasn’t something that was in the script. We decided a week before we shot the scene that he should play a song, so he went off, and my pro-ducer taught him to play some simple chords, and we had the song written by a friend of ours. So he learned it, and it’s a pretty spectacular little moment for him. It really hits a certain nail on the head for his character in just the right way.”

So, once the movie

was in the can came the editing process which he described as a night-mare.

The film is a very slow burn movie where the visuals and camera placement tell most of the story. He hired three editors to help with the process to help gain per-spective on a film he was so immersed in.

“It was difficult to put together, even though the story is very simple; it’s not complex or sur-prising in any sort of way, but the tone and the pace of it was something that really mattered, and getting those things right was a tricky process.”

The film premiered only after three months after filming was com-plete, and then came the festival run of the film.

It was accepted into all of the major film festivals, and that took Lowery all over the world.

“It was sort of like best case scenario. We did Sundance and Cannes and a bunch of other U.S. festivals through-out the summer, and I just got back from the last European festival two weeks ago. It’s been pretty remarkable.

“I definitely went to some crazy parties on yachts,” Lowery said

with a laugh speaking about the Cannes film festival experience.

“I mean that happens. That’s part of it.”

Being born and raised in Texas, Lowery decid-ed to shoot “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” here, too. Mostly.

“I’ve made, I think, zero films outside of Texas. So everything I’ve done has been here. ‘Ain’t Them Bodies Saints’ was par-tially shot in Louisiana, which was the first big thing I’ve done some-where else. But we still shot most of it in Texas as well.”

But now having ties to L.A., he’s seen both sides of filmmaking—the indie film side and the Hollywood studio side.

“I’d say the biggest dif-ference is that in L.A. they have a tendency to always be ‘on’. They’re always working, always going to meetings. And just being away from L.A., you can escape that and get your work done. You can fly to L.A. if you need to, but you can also have a piece of mind of not being in the midst of being in the industry. You’re not surrounded by the business of it all.

“And I think that’s helpful. I love L.A., and I love going there. I love

the fact that it’s a very short flight, and I can hop over when I need to.

“Maybe at some point I’ll need to live there, but right now it hasn’t been a necessity.”

While chatting, he seems relaxed enough in his current filmmak-ing state in life and is busy writing numerous Hollywood projects now, including one to be pro-duced by and possibly starring Robert Redford.

“I’ve got three things that are all being writ-ten simultaneously by me,” Lowery said with a laugh. “I don’t know which one will happen first. There’s another

movie with Casey Affleck that we’re working on together. It’s a science fiction movie that kind of picks up where ‘Ain’t Them Bodies Saints’ left off on some of the the-matic concerns that we

dealt with there.”

As well as writing those films, he also adapting a novel and has turned in the first draft to the remake of the Disney classic “Pete’s Dragon.”

“I can’t really say any-thing about the movie or the script or what it is, but you know, Toby Halbrooks, who co-wrote it with me, have memo-ries of watching it when we were little kids as well.

“We didn’t go back and watch it. We just really took the idea of a little boy named Pete who has a friend who is a dragon and decided to run with that and hopefully honor the things we liked about the original. It’s more about trying to honor the feeling we remember rather than the specifics.

“And then I have a movie that I’m writ-ing right now, today, is a movie I’m working on with Robert Redford that he would produce and star in. My goal next year is to try and do movies back to back. I just like to keep working. So here’s to hoping I can get them all made.”

So, is Lowery at all nervous about working with such a prolific actor and producer such as Redford on possibly his next project?

“Not yet,” he said laughing. “We’ll see what happens when we get to set.”

“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” is out now on DVD and Blu-Ray.
