El Paso, Texas - March 1, 2007 – Capstone Productions Inc. announces the premiere showing

of its newest heritage video, “El Paso’s Mount Cristo Rey,” as a fund-raiser to benefit the Mount Cristo Rey Restoration Committee.

The video explores the historical and cultural significance of Sierra de Cristo Rey in Sunland Park, N.M. – a Catholic shrine, a world-class sculpture and a geological treasure.

It highlights the dedication and spirit of the Restoration Committee members. For decades, the volunteers have maintained the mountain’s dirt trails, making it possible for thousands of pilgrims to climb Mount Cristo Rey each year. The video also documents how the mountain was devastated by the historic floods of 2006, jeopardizing future pilgrimages.

“El Paso’s Mount Cristo Rey” will premiere March 24 in the Mount Cristo Rey Room at Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino. Admission is free but seating is limited, so tickets are required. A donation of $5 per person is requested at the door, with all proceeds going to the Restoration Committee. Listen to the Leon Metz Radio Show on March 3 for details on how to pick up free tickets. The Leon Metz Radio Show airs Saturdays from 10 am to noon on NewsTalk 690 KTSM.

Additional fund-raising screenings to benefit Mount Cristo Rey will be held throughout March and April In El Paso and Las Cruces. In May, the program will be released for purchase on DVD.

“El Paso’s Mount Cristo Rey” is a co-production of Capstone Productions Inc. and the El Paso County Historical Society as part of the El Paso Gold Heritage Television Series, programs that feature the history and heritage of the Paso del Norte region. The series producer is native El Pasoan Jackson Polk of Capstone Productions.

“While we were in production, the El Paso area was hit by more than a month of record-breaking rains,” Polk said. “We were able to document how the rains damaged Cristo Rey, and what the video shows is the need for an asphalt road on the mountain. That’s why Capstone Productions is holding screenings in March and April to help raise funds to provide a permanent fix.”

Polk encourages El Paso-area churches and civic groups to contact Capstone Productions to schedule fund-raiser screenings during April. Details on fund-raising events will be posted on the Web site www.mountcristorey.com

Ruben Escandon, vice president of the Restoration Committee, said the need is great. “We thank Jackson Polk and Capstone Productions for producing this video and helping us get the word out about the needs for Mount Cristo Rey,” he said. “We hope that we can raise funds to install an asphalt road and proper drainage, so that future rains won’t result in closing the mountain to hikers and pilgrims.”

In May 2002, the El Paso County Historical Society contracted with Capstone Productions Inc., an El Paso-based television documentary company, to create The El Paso Gold Heritage Television Project, a series of heritage television programs about the El Paso, Texas region. The Society’s mission is to promote and preserve the history of the El Paso area.

In 2003 the Society and Capstone Productions Inc. co-produced “El Paso’s Magoffin Home,” a one-hour documentary broadcast on KCOS-TV in January 2005. The parties plan to produce a series of TV programs about El Paso’s history and heritage. “El Paso’s Mount Cristo Rey” is the next program in that series.

The Society, a non-profit 501(c)3 Texas corporation, provides research and administration of the series. The Society accepts tax-deductible contributions to underwrite the project from individuals, corporations and foundations.
