Director Statement

"To round out my time in film school I knew we needed to go big and taking a crew 17 hours to remote Montana certainly fit the bill. I wanted to tell a story epic in theme but small in scale and to pose intriguing questions about justice, morality, and greed. This fits perfectly with the backdrop of 1860's Montana when the gold mines are drying up and townspeople of all statuses must decide between their livelihood and their conscience. I hope you enjoy what we came up with."
