After the success of her debut Film “Quiet On Set” Mykel Salazar has agreed to Direct the feature film HELP WANTED. She has brought on Producers Krizia Vega and Keagan Karnes who are currently going through script rewrites with Joel Hager.

The script, penned by Joel Hager in 2020 is one focusing on addiction and recovery. During the writing they began partnering with Alex Horton at The International District of Economic Development and the Endorphin Power Company which are both focused in the International District of Albuquerque and its recovery.

Joel Hager says “Since the pandemic, Jobs have been at a low and unemployment has been high as people relearn how to live in a new age and a natural story of these effects seemed right to me.”

Joel Hager had stepped back from the Industry over the last 12 years to work on self development as well as his writing career. The last project he was apart of was Frozen River in 2008 which Quentin Tarantino was quoted at Sundance that year saying “I liked it”. It was later revealed that he was on the Jury which voted for it to win the juror award.

Production looks to continue packaging, attaching talent as well as doing rewrites over the next few months before moving into production.
