¡Qué onda, friends!
In this special bonus edition of Port of Entry, we're bringing you the story of Charles Glaubitz and Giancarlo Ruiz—two compadres from the Tijuana-San Diego border region who recently collaborated on a graphic novel titled "The Fracture." We dive into how this decades-long bromance made this comic book happen.
And... we're doing it a little differently this time. Drumroll please
Introducing Port of Entry Shorts: short video capsules that bring our cross-border stories to life in a fresh new way—through video!
To kick off this brand-new format, we're starting with two videos: one featuring Charles, the other starring Giancarlo. These capsules originally premiered last fall at our live event, and they're part of a special five-episode bundle that includes this bonus episode, plus a two-part release (Part 1 & Part 2) capturing our live event itself.
We hope you enjoy this five-episode bonanza!
¡Nos vemos pronto!
