My Backyard Was A Mountain is a 2005 multiple award winning AFI short film by Puerto Rican - American writer/director Adam Schlachter and produced by Austin Wakefield.
Schlachter first filmed a black-and-white version of the movie in 2004 called Palmarejo to secure financing for his project. He was the recipient of multiple grants, including The Caucus Foundation's Gold Circle Award[1] and Hispanic Scholarship Fund's HSF / McNamara Family Creative Arts Project Grant.[2] It has won many awards, including Best short or student film at the 2006 Imagen Awards.[3] Much of the cast of the earlier version was invited to reprise their roles for My Backyard Was A Mountain. The movie premiered on October 23, 2005 at the Arclight Hollywood Film Festival and is currently available for download on iTunes.
