The making
of a legend.
A western told through a storyteller, an audience and a stranger who changes the room.
Build the anticipation.
Inspired by the story-within-a-story opening of Desperado, this film explores how narration, reaction and timing can build a larger-than-life character before he arrives.
Think in sequences.
Storyboards establish the rhythm of each scene. Character references and location studies help preserve continuity between individual shots.
Give the camera a place.
Saloon layouts and multiple views define the geography: entrances, the bar, the piano and the space between characters. The setting becomes part of the storytelling.
Writing. Visual development. Performance. Editing. Sound.
Every stage serves the film.
A world of possibility
