An El Paso film crew is seeking a young woman to portray Selena in a new short film, “La Reina del Tex-Mex.”
The role is open to a woman, ages 18 to 30. Auditions will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, in the center courtyard of the Outlet Shoppes at El Paso. Applicants who are 16 or 17 could apply if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
