Helen Hunt Highlights Incredible Texas City: El Paso
Helen Hunt, the iconic actress from Twister and As Good as It Gets, just made El Paso the star of the show in a short documentary series called USA Through Film. Presented by GoUSA TV and produced by BBC StoryWorks, the two-minute video captures the heart and soul of the Sun City, and as a proud El Pasoan, I couldn’t be more thrilled!
Hunt takes viewers on a whirlwind tour of some of our city’s most vibrant spots. From the stunning Plaza Theatre to a lively lucha libre show, the segment also highlights our incredible culinary scene with Chef Emiliano Marentes, the artistry of Christin Apodaca, and the one-of-a-kind creations by Nevena Christi at Rocketbuster Boots. She describes El Paso as a place where cultures blend seamlessly, saying, “One of the unique things about El Paso is the exchange of cultures and the blending of Mexican and American sensibilities, whether it’s about food or art.”
As I watched Hunt walk through places I hold dear, I couldn’t help but feel a burst of pride. It reminded me of the 915 Day series by local photographer and videographer Christian Churches, who has a talent for showcasing the magic of our city through his lens. Like Hunt’s video, 915 Day celebrates the beauty and culture of El Paso, highlighting the stories and people that make it truly special. Yours truly, Iris & Grizz, even got be a part of 2024s 915 Day Video!
El Paso deserves this kind of love and attention, and seeing someone of Helen Hunt’s caliber celebrating our city is like a warm hug for our community. Whether it’s through her video or the work of local creatives like Churches, these moments put a spotlight on what makes El Paso unforgettable: its people, its culture, and its spirit.
