Cowboy Del Amor is a documentary comedy about a cowboy-turned-matchmaker who can’t manage his own love life. It follows self-proclaimed "Cowboy Cupid" Ivan Thompson, as he finds Mexican brides for disillusioned American men searching for the perfect wife. His clients include Rick, an ex-marine long-distance truck driver, and Lee, a hopeful 70-year-old Vietnam Veteran. They willingly pay $3,000 for a 600-mile bus ride into the heart of Mexico in a search for true love. For wise-cracking Ivan, love knows no borders.
Filmmaker Michèle Ohayon (Academy Award Nominee 1997 for Colors Straight UP) brings an authentic and humorous look at life and
love on both sides of the Mexican/US border. Her experienced eye follows this colorful Texan master of humor, as he attempts to
lasso hungry hearts into successful marriage matches.
