 If you loved Airplane! you'll love our new feature film comedy Border State.  


 Three wayward cows stray from an idyllic Mexican border farm, setting off a chain of zany events leading to war. 


  Border State gives a tip of the sombrero to absurdist satire of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s as it tells a modern story of politics, mayhem, and human frailty. Tensions along America's Southern  Border are set off by wayward Mexican cows and propelled by ten gallon hat egos, laconic space aliens, sketchy tourists, and rogue aircraft to anything-but-foregone conclusions. Border State is a crowd pleaser and a fresh, irreverent commentary on American Southern Border policy.
