WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The period Rom-Com screenplay “The Love Hex or Nicest Flings in Mexico” by Mike Meier 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. The story explores the many things in life we don’t quite understand, such as love, enchantment, and magic spells.

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.”

But it took COVID19 to give him a break from his usual job to finish the screenplay. “I had the draft in my drawer for almost 30 years. With little else to do during the shutdown, I finished the screenplay in June.”

So far, the screenplay has received the following distinctions:

• "The Love Hex or Nicest Flings in Mexico" won GOLD at the Summer 2020 Depth Of Field International Film Festival (DOFIFF).
