At the point of Cabo Falso, a lighthouse that was equipped with the most advanced mechanism and lighting devices of that time in the world, this project was awarded for its lighting system and for its Construction at the Universal Exposition in Paris France in 1900, the Cabo Falso Lighthouse was a navigational instrument that was transcendental in the history of Baja California, locating Cabo San Lucas as a safe harbor and initiating the new commercial stage of transpacific navigation and the economic transformation of the area.

"The Baja 1000, the biggest off-road motorsport race on the Baja peninsula, crosses Mexico's largest desert region. In this Western, which is surprisingly reminiscent of a musical, Jose Permar followed Rigo, Davis and Paco, three fans of this mechanical saga with a beat set by the “corridos” (epic lyrics) sung by a trio of flamboyant musicians. This film will be available to watch on this page, online for free, during the Festival!"

"On this side of the road, there is something bigger than victory"


*The most remote part of the Baja California desert, where mostly nothing happens, is about to be passed by the region's largest off-road race. 


The Race


Three fans from this region will disown the monotony of the place and find a way to be part of this scandalous event.


Off The Road is a 90 minute length journey that portrays the real-life encounter between two completely different worlds.


These events, transform the people and landscape of the Baja peninsula, into something completely different.


The Music

The journey is an experiential course made by real characters, surreal and magically told with

 “Baja Corridos”, the traditional music of the region. 


The Story


It is a tale told with passion, identity and belonging of the little villages along the trail of the racing, sporting competition. 


It is truth about human pride and the quest to be a part of something larger than yourself. About the relationship this Mexican region has with international travelers and desert off-road racers from around the world. 


The Racers


These people, desert racers, are drawn here by the uniqueness of the place, an oasis of stone between two seas. Environmentally hostile as a vast desert, but, graced by the warmest people on earth.


A Note from the Producer of the film

Photo Above: "Last February 'Off The Road' was present at the Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival through the Doc Station program of the Berlinale Talents. It was a huge opportunity to connect with filmmakers from all over the world. Thanks to all for the help, telling the stories of The Baja to reach the whole world."

"Our works have obtained several of the most prestigious awards in Mexico and the world, such as the Ariel award from the Mexican Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Nomination of the Student Oscars Academy Awards, as well as exhibitions and recognitions at the most important international festivals. Our objective is the creation of cinematographic projects of artistic quality with sincere, human and responsible content in front of our social context, which are fresh, with novel proposals and attract all kinds of audiences due to their universality."
