CK Hamilton is a student at Grand Valley State University majoring in Film and Video. They love exploring the world of the human psyche and how it can be represented in film. In the future, they hope to become an independent filmmaker.
We really wanted to take the concept of a western movie and mess with it and make it more modern. This cowboy is thrust into modern-day society and the use of labels. This causes him to start going on a downward spiral when their name is spelled wrong on a coffee cup. We tried to include the elements of noir and comedy genres to kind of bend it to the present times as well.
