Promoting A Lonely Place For Dying throughout 2009 will prevent my team from making another feature film until 2010. But, we’re creative people…we need to do something fun. During Christmas we brainstormed a few ideas and decided to work together on a short film. Here is a summary of the project…

TITLE: Days Like These

GENRE: Western/Action/Comedy

LENGTH: Approximately 8 minutes

FORMAT: Red One

RECORDING & EDITING PLATFORM: CF Cards, SSD Hard Drives & fully loaded Macbook Pro connected to a 32″ Apple Cinema Display

ACTORS: Luis Robledo & Marisilda Garcia

MUSICIANS: Sorry, Nelson & Brent Daniels

CORE CREW: Justin Evans (writer/director/cinematographer), Bryan Ross (producer), Jason Trausch (co-producer), Stephen Rubin, (executive producer), Arthur Love (camera operator and visual effects)

STILL NEEDED: A great AD, sound recordist, key grip, gaffer…the rest of the core team will be doing 2-3 positions so we can keep the total team size at about 10-12.

PLOT: A poker hustler finds himself trapped between an angry mark looking for revenge, the Union Army of Colorado and the Confederate Army of Texas.

STYLE: The humor of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, the visual panache of a John Woo action film and the snappy dialogue of an Aaron Sorkin screenplay.
