Sometimes as filmmakers you just get lucky. One of our greatest strokes of luck was meeting photographer Javier Hernandez. Although his aspirations to be a luchador never materialized, Javier soon picked up a camera and has become one of the most indispensable recorders of the lucha libre scene in Southern California. We utilize Javier’s photographs throughout Tales of Masked Men and you’ll see why below.
