I just wanted to say that because you have a cowboy with a hat and a gun does not make this "short film" a western. A short film has a problem and conclusion. i didn't get right but i must say the filming was really good and keep up the good work.

p.s. please watch westerns

@chrisariz91 This was a test in the look of a western, it was not intended to have a plot. This was a spontaneous work created as practice for when I shot my longer, scripted western, "Coyote Falls". A trailer for that is available on my channel. Thanks.

Everything about this deserves maaaad respect! Very nice work! Good acting too.

very entertaining, who cares if its not inkeeping with all these apparent rules and regulations , after all, shorts are about creativity and i think a lot of atmosphere was created in such a short time space. narratives are good, but these film makers have tackled something much more necessary, A BIT OF FUN, something all you hacked off nerds obviously have no concept of.

right up there with Clint Eastwoods UNFORGIVEN because you cant be forgiven for this terrible short, wrong music for the opening and end, and actor thats good at acting like he's acting, and no story, LOL im just giving you a hard time, the shooting was pretty good and the camera work, keep at it you show some talent.

Can I see Coyote Falls? I would love to see it.

[wantafastcar]

the short film looks very good. I also have the hf s100 but cannot get it to look like that. what do you do to make it look that good?

The filming was pretty good, but those gun sounds..
