Director Statement

Kristian Kane:
“The script for ‘Showdown’ has been a constant source of conversation at the Fine Rolling office over recent years. It’s more than just a passion project for us, it’s a project that seeks to give back to the community and raise awareness for a worthy cause."

Lewis Carter: “Showdown is our take on what would happen if you made a western film in a modern-day village in the South Wales Valleys. We feel a sense of pride that many people in the autistic community have responded so positively towards the depiction of autism in the script. We hope to do them proud with the final film and give them a hero they can relate to on screen.
