The Riviera Kid and Los Vaqueros

This film is a 11 minute western and comedy. This was created for my A Level film studies course but I decided to take it further than the 5 minute limit and created a longer more complete film. This film is designed to look and feel like a spaghetti western, inspired by the films of Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne and John Ford.
Riviera, a bounty hunter, encounters a mysterious narrator on his travels. The narrator helps Riviera to track down notorious criminal, John Milton and his newly found gang, Los Vaqueros.
