Well done! Excellent and very entertaining. Interesting sub-plots and great characters. Small detail of a 20th century half dollar to pay for the whiskey and pressed glass whiskey glasses, which would not find in any saloon, but fine Western film.
It's a good thing she was only riding at a walking pace because as you could see before she entered Willowstone the girth on her saddle was so loose that she would have been hanging under the horse at a brisk trot...but for the rest a nice film!
They must have had extremely good artists back in the day for all those "Wanted" posters. An innocent man could be shot just for having similarities :) Good effort.
you can't escape 8th or 9th or 10th degree feminism even in what's supposed to be a throwback classic western. Another sixteen minutes of my life wasted...
@@hazardbrxh5676 did you watch it? Too much build up and chatter. I used to write Westerns so take my word for it. Or keep watching boring crap. Notice I didn't go into all the technical mistakes they made
@@tinsoldier5621 Everyone's a critic smh... Oh well that's your opinion mate. I think all the awards the team received speaks for itself. I have seen the film, I think it's pretty good given this is a 21 year old first professional short film.
why does everyone use these dark filters and super narrow f stops in cinema these days? it is gross. the blurring and refocusing is stupid. why should people strain their eyes to see a western. sergio leone would be offended at seeing people use stupid photography tricks to violate his genre. a western needs to look realistic, not like a student showing a teacher he knows a bunch of cute techniques in film school. filters, restricted f stops and cutesy techniques do NOT belong in the screenplays of western movies. there is no situation in real life where human eyes see people as half dark and half shadow like the bar room scene. the human eye has a greater range of light than a camera and does not see like that. make it look realistic, not like a stupid super hero movie
Thank you for the comment and I appreciate your respect of the genre. This film is my take on a genre that I love, and as a filmmaker, I understand that it won't be what everyone likes.
Ok have to say I get where you're coming from, but the thing is night is always portrayed as blue if you watch "cinema" ones set in a green area often follow a colour scheme being variations greens and blues this is done to add balance everywhere in cinema. Clint Eastwoods films are a perfect example because night has blueish theme, and your request for "realism" just saying natural light will always be blue because colour is just reflections of light. Although constructive criticism is always helpful, please don't say Serigo Leone would be offended, if anything he'd be offended on what you had to say. you have to pay homage to the classics even with modern camera equipment.

Wow electricity in the old west
This is pretty cool. Reminds me of a Louie Lamore story
How?
Very well done!
Quite good, just one thing bothered me. Those cut crystal drinking glasses looked out of place. Details !
That style of telephone also looks wrong for the period.
No honor amongst thieves...ever.
Who acted as the barkeeper?
What's with the pretend cigarette puffing?
slower than low................. jmove it along
Its high noon
Horse has a bad Hoff trim, its walking in pain.
*_...I don't know where I'm going..._*
The soundtrack with the guitar in the opening of this film appears a wee bit out of tune…Apologies for hurting sentiments.
Hope you guys didn't spend more on the movie than the drinks cost.
Nice film! Good photography, but just one thing, that horse is in pain!
Lo quiero en español

The out of tune guitar drove me away at 3:08…
I'm at :24 and I stopped to see if anyone else noticed it 🙂
First
Too long and drawn out. It would have been great at ten minutes long
When?

Sadly ...
Something original in here?
My dude you're into card magic tricks...
Just nonsens!
what crap. a female bounty hunter in the old west. what ever happened to verisimilitude.
Not worth to look a second! Wasted time!
Rather interesting that you made a post here 11 months ago. Decided to look a second time? Definitely worth a second viewing so good on you.
