Baron + Toluca
Join us for the official premiere of "Baron + Toluca," an independent pilot from "Roswell" co-stars Majandra Delfino and Brendan Fehr! Described as a “spiritual successor” to "Roswell," the series follows exes Jake Baron (Brendan Fehr) and Toluca Mendez (Majandra Delfino), who find themselves reunited in a familiar part of New Mexico – much to the delight of one and the horror of the other. Forced together by unforeseen circumstances, they must remain there together, to try and unravel a paranormal mystery threatening to kill them both. That is, if they don’t kill each other first. Following the premiere screening, Delfino and Fehr will be joined by fellow cast members for a conversation about reuniting for a new project, their experience producing an independent pilot, and their future plans for Baron and Toluca’s story.

We all reference “lower, middle and upper” class, but current class lines are far more varied, with more and more of the public dropping below a true poverty line with little infrastructure to ever rise above it. Current TV is depicting a modern view of poverty lines and income disparity. Beyond the standard images of the “homeless” and “unemployed” is a spectrum of stories representing a population of the public that is stuck in a cycle of true poverty with no hope of rising up.
