A silent film that partly takes place in the Borderland is making its Plaza Classic Film Festival debut this summer.
When "Her Husband's Trademark" lights up the Plaza Theatre screen on July 27, it will feature something it didn't have when it premiered in 1922: an original score. You could say this moment was over 100 years in the making. But in actuality, the festival's Program Director Doug Pullen has been trying to bring "Trademark" to life for the last decade.
Pullen and local composer Enrique Ponce join podcast hosts Stephanie Valle and Lisa Elliott to talk about the process.
The Plaza Classic Film Festival is July 17-27, 2025.
The Plaza Classic Podcast is a production of the El Paso Community Foundation and is recorded on the El Paso Community College campus.
