Latin legend inspires alumnus’ film – SF State cinema department technician releases ‘Dead in the Sierra’ after 30 years conception
Tagged: California, family, Film, HIV, San FranciscoPosted on: October 11th, 2007“When Warren Haack was a young boy, he traveled with his family to the Sierras, exploring old towns and learning about California’s turbulent past. But of all the tales he heard, it was the legend of Gold Rush-era criminal Joaquin Murieta that struck him the most.
As the family crossed Pacheco Pass—once called Robbers’ Pass—his mother pointed out Murieta’s hideout and the Iron Door Saloon, in Groveland, where the outlaw’s head was said to be displayed in a glass jar.
“You can’t tell these kinds of things to a young kid who’s impressionable,” said Haack who now serves as the instructional support technician for the SF State’s Cinema Department.”*
