Good story. It was plausible. All of the acting was good. Costumes, etc. All good. I believed the characters and actually cared about them in a short time. That's good and efficient character development. You could make a TV series out of this.
This is an great story. The acting is excellent. The storyline is awesome. I like the cinema. Your choice of actors and actress is wonderful. I believe them. Thank you for showing me your movie.
What a story you can tell in 22 minutes.. 22 minutes is an eternity when someone has 100% of your attention. Use every 22 minutes you have! Well done to the creator.. 🙌🏻
Sat down for lunch at work and was looking for something to watch and this showed up in my feed. Decided to give it a try. That was so great! I'd like to see Jim Cody Williams in more westerns.
Circle Street Motion Pictures , mate that was awesome. Music, filming and especially ALL the actors were so convincing. That was one of the best cowboy movies I have watched. Well done to you all. Brent
I have an immense amount of respect for anyone who can take 20 minutes and tell a story better than another who happens to have unlimited cashy money and 2 HOURS to work with!! Pretty sure back when that writer strike went down, the money men told em all to go kick rocks! They figured we can make comic book movies till forever! They didn't think for a second though, there will be people who are 'starving artists' that will come along and take down Hollywood with a few go pros and a good drone pilot! These shorts are getting better every day!
Just found this and have to say it is excellent. When you have a good story, you really don't have to act. That's how I saw this. The actors became the characters. I love westerns and miss seeing good stories like this being told.
I am 69 years young. I was raised up on and loving Western movies and television programs. Worked on one of my uncles ranch until my very late teens. I have always dreamed of the cowboy life. I am so happy to see westerns coming back into the cinema..
Stumbled upon this by accident. Best 22 minutes I’ve spent in a long time. Absolutely outstanding in every respect! Thank you for sharing your art with us!
Such gems prove that art of cinema is alive. Such brilliant results from small time projects and dedicated likeminded group of folks rise a question about film corporations in Holliwood actually choking the substance out of cinema. The surrogate Holliwood had been feeding us with gets increasingly hard to even digest. Why, oh why?
This excellent western is a little gem that escapes cliche. Writing, acting, photography were all great and the director used them all to advantage in weaving a memorable story.
What a story! The Characters were built up quickly and precisely in minutes. A feat that no writer's I've known who can do this in cinematography so quickly? I bow to you genius. Thank you for sharing your Art. The acting was awesome.
@Adam AA Thank you kindly for taking the time to watch “Times Like Dying” amigo. Greatly appreciate your feedback! We worked hard to deliver a solid story! Thank you so much!
Wow. I am blown away. Jim Cody Williams was unreal. "I can still do it! I can get our farm back!" Can't wait for you guys to have a full length feature.
As a young boy I grew up on westerns from all the greats like Roy Roger's, the Lone Ranger and John Wayne. I have been wanting something like this for years! This was amazing!
We should all be grateful that we didn't have to pay a dime to watch this took a lot of money in a lot of effort to make this film thank you we appreciate that
What a great 'little" film. More guts, brains, and logic than mainstream releases. The score was excellent, as was the acting, editing, and direction. Very well done.
@Riskmangler What a great handle you have! Thank you for watching “Times Like Dying” A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into making this little film. Thank you for your comment! We truly appreciate every view and comment!
This was really good. What I really liked about the show about the older man, is that he wasn't a bad man, he was just desperate and wanted to save his farm and everything that he worked for, and he saw no other way to do it. I wish they had made a sequel to it.
I was never a western film fan growing up, except for the, " Lone Ranger." The newer westerns released this past decade have been so wonderful. God bless the, " Hell On Wheels," crew for giving us a more realistic look into the past. I take my cowboy hat and boots off for you guy's as well, superbly done. Sincerely, Jonny💰🔫👢🤠
That is one awesome short film . I enjoyed it so much that I have watched it twice . Thanks to all of you that put this together for our entertainment.
I grew up on westerns, and this was one of the finest I have seen. Well done! It felt like it came out of a theater, but just one scene from the middle of the movie or something. I could have watched it for another hour!
What I like is the depth of character development each one brings to the story. So many of these short films have “flat” personalities, meaning I don’t get a feeling of individuality coming from the actors. These are true actors
The best film that I have seen in... way too long. I am neither film maker nor critic but with a product like this things like cinematography, periodicity and editing are so seemless as to be blindingly obvious. Thank you many happy returns.
this kept me interested, I loved the escalating tension, the pacing, the authenticity, all of it. It shows when a good man gets desperate enough to do a wrong in hopes of making something right, and then worse, teams up with those who are truly evil , it never ends well.
Wow! That's about all I can say. This one definitely needs to be made into a full length movie. Same actors, same outfits, same everything. One of the best short films I have yet seen and well deserved of all the praise it has gotten and shall receive. Well done gentlemen. Very well done indeed.
The acting in this movie was excellent.
The Western Genre is back on the menu!!!
Good story. It was plausible. All of the acting was good. Costumes, etc. All good. I believed the characters and actually cared about them in a short time. That's good and efficient character development. You could make a TV series out of this.
Exactly !
This is the most perfect you can get with a short film
This is an great story. The acting is excellent. The storyline is awesome. I like the cinema. Your choice of actors and actress is wonderful. I believe them. Thank you for showing me your movie.
I’m sitting here stunned. What did I just stumble upon? I’ve never seen better acting in a short film.
Best 22 minutes of a movie I've seen in a long time.
I'm 72...this movie is as good as any western ever. Also another take on a heist gone bad.
What a story you can tell in 22 minutes.. 22 minutes is an eternity when someone has 100% of your attention. Use every 22 minutes you have! Well done to the creator.. 🙌🏻
Wow! That just made my day! Thank you! Thank you watching and commenting!
❤
When 22 minutes is an eternity I’m not sure the storytelling is that great
@Guinness It's great alright
Just wow...
What a gem. Four movies like this are better than anything that comes out of Hollywierd.........
@DJ Griffin Bless your heart. We really appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching! We love storytelling. Glad that you liked it. Much Obliged.
Thank you for this gift. Everything was top notch, which made for one of the most riveting productions I’ve watched in quite some time.
Good acting,that black nurse maid played a great part,the coughing sheriff was excellent,and white lightning didn't let on to anything
FANTASTIC study in moral dilemma and Americana! PLEASE tell me this won at least one award! Bravo!
Came here by accident. Very well done. Better than some movies ive seen
With great short films like these, I have no longing for hollywood anymore!!!!!!
Sat down for lunch at work and was looking for something to watch and this showed up in my feed. Decided to give it a try. That was so great! I'd like to see Jim Cody Williams in more westerns.
Now that's how you make a western. Acting was top notch for sure.
Thanks John. A lot of hard work and selfless people.
Circle Street Motion Pictures , mate that was awesome. Music, filming and especially ALL the actors were so convincing. That was one of the best cowboy movies I have watched. Well done to you all. Brent
Top-notch casting. Distinctive faces with plenty of character. Very believable performances.
Great job.
+ssppeellll we were very fortunate to work with amazing actors. Thank you for watching.
It's shorts like this, that restores faith in the magic of motion pictures. Thank you, to all involved!

This is an excellent film. Thank you for sharing…
I’m a city-slicker (Los Angeles), but this film reminded me how much I miss a great “Western.”
Better than most modern movies!
When short movies are far better than hollywood
Let's keeping making them.
That's correctly spelled Hollyweird : )
Badseed Nut When you use a subordinate clause to write an incomplete, nonsensical sentence but you think it sounds profound.
Luffaman - always an ass in the bunch!

This is the result when a film is made for love of the craft versus love of the box office. Well done.
Best western i’ve seen in a while, Thank you so much for this
Fantastic..better than some of the big budget Hollywood movies..well done!!
@Trevor Mills Thank you for kind comment! We worked hard to tell a compelling story with believable grounded characters.
The best short movie i seen posted here.stylish,good story,great scenes
Nicely acted. The Sheriff looked like a real mean bad ass you don't wanna mess with when he was sitting down in the beginning.
Thank you for the kind words!
Just found this and have to say it is excellent. When you have a good story, you really don't have to act. That's how I saw this. The actors became the characters. I love westerns and miss seeing good stories like this being told.
Just ..... WOW!
Have gun will travel with Richard boone 30 minutes. Some of the best ever.
Palladin,The Rifleman, Wanted Dead or Alive.
A dark little western indeed.Love the chemistry between the dying lawman and his nursemaid.
I am 69 years young. I was raised up on and loving Western movies and television programs. Worked on one of my uncles ranch until my very late teens. I have always dreamed of the cowboy life. I am so happy to see westerns coming back into the cinema..
Awesome! Too bad Hollywood can't make a decent Western anymore. Thank you!
Bravo, well done. Actors and actress are 1st class. Many thumbs up.
Stumbled upon this by accident. Best 22 minutes I’ve spent in a long time. Absolutely outstanding in every respect! Thank you for sharing your art with us!
You're welcome. Very glad you enjoyed the film. Feel free to share it with your friends and family. Cheers!
Yeah. As John Wheeler said.
@@CircleStreetMP lll))lllllll
I didn't even realise I was sitting here for 22 minutes, that is when you know your watching something good.
I agree.

This excellent western is a little gem that escapes cliche. Writing, acting, photography were all great and the director used them all to advantage in weaving a memorable story.
Better than most full length movies I've seen lately.
I really enjoyed this. Good story line.
I wish this went on forever!!
This was excellently done, and it was a pleasure to watch. i subscribed, and would love to see more.
Better than a two hour long movie,, Finally somebody gets it.., stop thinking out of the box, in the box thinking is Best...!!!!!!
Amazing short. Told an an entire story of lives in 20 minutes flat. Acting was top shelf.
They were a privilege to work with. Amazing group of people. Glad you enjoyed the film.
The economy of the old 30 minute Gunsmokes!
Great Movie. Thanks again!🤗
I was 33 seconds in and I realized this was going to be better than usual. Great clever voice over to just introduce the robberies.
Feelings were surely felt in this one!
Wow this was better and better acted then most movies I have seen lately. time well spent...Well done
@bill Burke Bless you heart! We appreciate the kind words! Thanks for giving us 22 minutes of your day! Glad you enjoyed it!
why Western stories are so fking entertained? Loveee it!
What a story! The Characters were built up quickly and precisely in minutes. A feat that no writer's I've known who can do this in cinematography so quickly? I bow to you genius.
Thank you for sharing your Art.
The acting was awesome.
@Karilee Anderson Thank you so much for watching and writing your lovely commentary!
Totally enthralling! Absolutely genuine!
Still cannot stop watching and wondering why this is not a feature film. Direction, acting, writing (Anthony Reynolds) it is all perfect.
@Adam AA Thank you kindly for taking the time to watch “Times Like Dying” amigo. Greatly appreciate your feedback! We worked hard to deliver a solid story! Thank you so much!
Wow. I am blown away. Jim Cody Williams was unreal. "I can still do it! I can get our farm back!" Can't wait for you guys to have a full length feature.
I had Myke Holmes as a teacher. Great guy. I saw this film Premiere about five years ago and it’s still great!
AWESOME. THANKS FOR A GREAT WESTERN. 😇
This is easily the best western short film I've ever seen!
A perfect short film. Thank you.
6yrs has past and yet this is still being found and liked.. well done good writing and cinematography for what you had.. this is good!
Awesome ,i love western movies with meaning. Hope to see more
As a young boy I grew up on westerns from all the greats like Roy Roger's, the Lone Ranger and John Wayne. I have been wanting something like this for years! This was amazing!
That was really good and extremely believable.👍
We should all be grateful that we didn't have to pay a dime to watch this took a lot of money in a lot of effort to make this film thank you we appreciate that
From beginning to end cinema photography lighting actors and acting absolutely superb
@Roy Cairns Thank you kindly for watching our film and for your kind remarks. We greatly appreciate you!
This was excellent. We never get enough westerns anymore.
Stunningly beautiful film. Truly art in our time. Thank you.
@Donald Monroe Thank you very much for watching and for your kind words!
What a great 'little" film. More guts, brains, and logic than mainstream releases. The score was excellent, as was the acting, editing, and direction. Very well done.

I wish they had made a sequel to it.
That was friggin good. Really good.
One big problem with this, it's about an hour and a half to short.
Good job to all involved. Very entertaining.
Too
@@Shmulykas Really, that's the best you can offer, grammar policing....yeesh
Love it. Great stuff. Well done I hope it gets you somewhere.
if folks keep making great short films like this westerns will make a great comeback.
Excellent short film. Fantastic
I was never a western film fan growing up, except for the, " Lone Ranger." The newer westerns released this past decade have been so wonderful.

Jonny💰🔫👢🤠
wow, I love it, very very well done people.
Great acting and charisma by the old guy. I'd like to see him more. He could fit right
This should be a series.
@Prone Rider 562 Thank you for watching. A series is something that we have considered. A massive undertaking…
No happy ending here.
Gritty, powerful drama with superlative performances from the entire cast and crew.
Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Absolutely amazing!!!❤️❤️❤️
That is one awesome short film . I enjoyed it so much that I have watched it twice . Thanks to all of you that put this together for our entertainment.
Well worth watching for the wonderful acting.
I grew up on westerns, and this was one of the finest I have seen. Well done! It felt like it came out of a theater, but just one scene from the middle of the movie or something. I could have watched it for another hour!
A right mighty good western
What I like is the depth of character development each one brings to the story. So many of these short films have “flat” personalities, meaning I don’t get a feeling of individuality coming from the actors. These are true actors
I grew up watching all of the greatest TV and big screen westerns. This is a fantastic movie. Well done.
@Paladin Falconer Thank you kindly for your remarks. We take them as a huge compliment!
Very well done. Way better than most contemporary westerns.
Just as good as the old ones.
Better than most of what's on TV.
The dialogue in this film is totally awesome, the actors are genuinely marvelous, the settings are ruggedly impeccable as well. Loved every second!!!
Fantastic!
A little gem of a film... gave the feeling of the time and the situation - and of course the characters.
Ken Hutley it was a challenge to do in such a short timeframe but we are glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent film.
The best film that I have seen in... way too long. I am neither film maker nor critic but with a product like this things like cinematography, periodicity and editing are so seemless as to be blindingly obvious. Thank you many happy returns.
Excellent piece of work
this kept me interested, I loved the escalating tension, the pacing, the authenticity, all of it. It shows when a good man gets desperate enough to do a wrong in hopes of making something right, and then worse, teams up with those who are truly evil , it never ends well.
a great failing of most good men, is not understanding just how evil some men can be, and just how dangerous it can be to trust them.
Amen to that brother
So well done. Story and all.. Few movies make me want to watch them again.
Wow! That's about all I can say. This one definitely needs to be made into a full length movie. Same actors, same outfits, same everything. One of the best short films I have yet seen and well deserved of all the praise it has gotten and shall receive. Well done gentlemen. Very well done indeed.
Thank you!
This is very short - but also very good. Worth the time.
I admire short stories. As a English teacher, the plot was stirring and the moral challenges between the players were concrete and enduring!
Thank you
Damn. Made this old man cry.
A simple story simply told. Excellently written and acted, and fully deserving of the awards it has received.
David, Wow, thank you so much. It took a village to pull off this labor of love!
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
