Passing an argument from template to function - Django

I need to check if a checkbox on a template is checked, then perform some function into views.py.

So far I don't know if I'm doing it right, but it seems it doesn't checks for the checkbox so it doesn't perform anything.

For example, this function on views.py:

if existente is not None and existente != '':
            projects = Proyecto.objects.filter(nombre_proyecto=name)
            ctx = {"projects" : projects}
            return render_to_response('scppp/proyecto.html', ctx, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Here, existente is a BooleanField already declared on models.py and forms.py, and in my template it goes like this:

<tr><td>
    <input class="check-style" type="checkbox" name="existente" value="existente" >Existente</input>
</td></tr>

If this is checked, perform the function, but so far it isn't working, it even throws an NameError existente field is not defined

Should I do something else to make it work?

Thanks in advance!
