Ray & Migdalia Etheridge - Golden West Films
Welcome to Ray and Migdalia's webpage, the "husband-and-wife filmmakers".
Ray and Migdalia began producing movies together as a hobby in 2005. They make what are often called "microbudget" films...films with little or no budget. Most of their films were shot in and around their home, and their garage was often transformed into very elaborate "sets", such as a Police Station (for "Stoned Dead"), a Mountain Cabin (for "Detour To Hell"), a Thug's Hideout (for "Dying For Dollars"), and many others. Their films were generally shot on Mini-DV, with a "film look" added during the editing process. Nearly all of their films have been showcased in Film Festivals throughout the U.S., and have received numerous awards.
Ray is their "technical person", who handles the camera, lighting, audio, and editing. Migdalia is their producer, assistant director, script supervisor, and makeup artist. She also writes one song for each of their movies, which can be heard under the films' end credits. The Etheridges are also founders and sponsors of the "15 Minutes of Fame" film festival, which showcases the work of filmmakers from across the U.S., and around the globe.
