The film is the second in an ongoing series, produced by The Oakdale Cowboy Museum, directed by Kevin Fox; released on DVD in an effort to share the western legacy and tell the story of the many ranchers and rodeo cowboys who made Oakdale known as the “Cowboy Capital of the World. "The release of this film documents an important part of Central California history and celebrates the accomplishments of these local rodeo legends” says Museum Board President Doug Murdock.

The Camarillo family, who came to Oakdale in the mid 1960’s, could fit most of their life possessions in a pickup truck and a two horse trailer but they came to this small Central Valley town to live their dream. Soon they would become one of the most recognized names in rodeo history. The Camarillos knew from an early age that rodeo was the game they were going to play. Time and time again they raised the bar achieving the sport’s most coveted titles and becoming the fiercest competitors in professional rodeo. They revolutionized the sport of Team Roping with their passion and commitment to the sport. To this day, they are still Changing the Game!

This feature documentary film takes an inside look at where and how three legendary professional rodeo athletes began their careers and the drive that led them to become rodeo superstars. Rare family photos, home movies, commentary from Director of Communications for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) Kendra Santos, and Legendary Rodeo Stock Contractor, Cotton Rosser bring you the true inside story. This authentic and candid look at the life of the Camarillos includes interviews with Leo, Jerold & Reg Camarillo, each telling their own story.

Kevin Fox Photography helps to promote tourism in Oakdale and Stanislaus County.

In 2009, Oakdale California, the "Cowboy Capital of the World", was named one of the TOP 20 BEST PLACES IN THE WEST by American Cowboy Magazine. (Kevin has been published many times in American Cowboy Magazine.) The Oakdale Cowboy Museum asked us to put together some images to illustrate the article. Soon there after, the Oakdale Chamber of Commerce asked us to provide some artwork for the main lobby area of their offices with many of those same images. After working with the staff at the Chamber, we decided to take that one step farther. We joined the Oakdale Chamber of Commerce and found a seat on the Oakdale Tourism Board. We made those images available to them for the Chamber web site free of charge. Those images where then picked up by the Regional Round Table on Tourism in Stanislaus County to promote lifestyle, arts and culture, recreation, sights, and the history of Oakdale.We now spend some of our time making images and videos for the purpose of sharing with the rest of the world how wonderful this little town is.
