TIO CHOKO: THE LAST HOPE Squares Up At Indiegogo For New Tourno Action Comedy
Bruce Zelaya is his name but in the eyes of millions of netizens he’s always gone by the moniker of Tio Choko, an internet persona with more than 1.7 million followers across Meta. Brandishing a Mexican caricature with tight dance moves and a Zapata mustache to boot, Zelaya has carried the persona online and in-person, and is now ready to elevate the role into feature film territory with tournament action comedy, Tio Choko: The Last Hope.
A city ruled by eight ruthless mafia families descends into chaos when a high-stakes tournament is announced to crown the next leader. Desperate to protect their legacy, the struggling Moreno family turns to a mysterious cowboy with an iconic mustache—Tio Choko. Against all odds, Tio Choko enters the tournament to face eight brutal opponents, each deadlier than the last. As alliances shift and betrayals emerge, his foes soon realize they’re up against no ordinary warrior.
Get ready for an action-packed comedy adventure filled with laughs, intense showdowns, jaw-dropping twists, and heartfelt moments. When all hope seems lost, the city’s last hope is Tio Choko.
Houston-based Filmatic, whose in-house team is led by cinematographer Orlando Briones, and filmmaker Christian Briones, are collaborating with Zelaya to bring Tio Choko: The Last Hope, to life on the big screen.
