Javier's Tribute Film to Lost Friends

Hi, my name is Javier Simental Jr. I have made a short feature documentary film about a terrible car accident that happened 12 years ago, which still affects me mentally and emotionally. On that night, my best friend lost control of the car and we hit a palm tree in the center median on Ave 52 in La Quinta. I suffered a lot of life-threatening injuries.

Turns out, two weeks later, the driver Micheal Garcia, Eric Ceballos, and Orlando Diarte, all my three best friends, lost their lives and I was the only survivor. 12 years later, I want to commemorate them in a film that I'm making and dedicate it to them. A lot of people tell me if I survived, it was for a reason and I strongly believe this is the reason. This documentary will spread awareness.
