Director Statement

My obsession with sci-fi and Westerns as well as Ethan's willingness to answer a call to adventure lead to this fun little film. Directing, writing, producing, shooting, editing and completing all VFX as literally a one person crew was awesome, no other way to describe it. I hope viewers enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed making this one minute epic.
