Gastón Davis' 'Cowboys Without Borders' explores life on the range in Texas, Mexico, Montana and Argentina
Director of the documentary Cowboys Without Borders Gaston Davis poses on Sunday July 3, 2022 in Sugar Land, Texas.As a boy growing up in the Clear Lake area, Gastón Davis had another life that he looked forward to every summer. His late grandfather owned the Pecan Spring Ranch between the central Texas towns of Menard and Brady, right off Highway 190, and introduced him to ranch life.
Though his current day job has nothing to do with the cowboy way or film — Davis sells steel roofing materials in North Texas — he had long wanted to celebrate the modern-day cowboy but not just those in the U.S., an approach sparked by a trip to South America years before. “My dad, when he was 17, moved to Chile. He hopped on a barge ship and went down there, lived with the captain of the ship’s family for four months and learned Spanish,” Davis says.
Then there was the matter of financing. An Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign raised $8000 says Davis, while the remainder of the $35,000 budget came from himself and family. His reception varied from region to region. “In Montana, I felt the most resistance because — I don’t know that it was — I think some of those guys, having a camera in front of them, they’re a little sheepish,” Davis recalls. “Basically, I think beautiful things don’t ask for attention...And so for the people sometimes within it, if a camera gets in front of them, they can be a little resistant to that.
