Successful Outlaw to screen at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Silco Theater, during the Silver City Community Film Festival
Documentary filmmaker David Luis Leal Cortez's latest film follows on the life of a silversmith whose life is steeped in New Mexico history.
Successful Outlaw follows the life of builder and biker, Daniel "Pepe" Rochon, as he builds a 4000 sq. foot, off grid, passive solar adobe hacienda on Taos Mesa. During the 1970s, Pepe lived and worked at the Mabel Dodge Lujan House when Dennis Hopper was owner and is a rare individual who continues to live the ideals of the counter culture crusaders who arrived and started communes in Northern New Mexico in the '60s. Successful Outlaw, has had the help of Dennis' brother, David, who was Rochon's partner in building many wonderful adobe structures in the region, including the former Return Gallery and the Ed and Trudy Healy Home in Arroyo Hondo, NM.
