Multiple Mexican museums have clamored to show Laurie Coyle’s 'Orozco: Man of Fire,' on the Mexican muralist, now re-released in Spanish.

Still, the museums were willing to show the film, even if it meant putting Spanish subtitles over the narration and English interviews. Though the artist was renowned, Coyle and co-producer Rick Tejada’s film stood out for its whimsical animations unconventional to typical artist documentaries, and museums wanted the Mexican public to see it.
During Coyle’s research she found other connections. She learned one of the ballet dancers, Mariano Tapia knew the artist when he did ballet set design; Tapia lived near 21st and Mission streets. “That was so cool that he was living in the Mission and knew Orozco,” Coyle said. And because the English documentary used famous Mexican actor Damián Alcázar to read Orozco’s voiceovers, Coyle wanted the same for the Spanish script. She waited nine months for a slot.
Among the audience were Orozco’s two great-granddaughters, Gabriela and Mariana. “I want to first thank you so much for this work on my great-grandfather,” Gabriela told Coyle during the Q&A. “This is really masterful work.”
