Awesome short western film. Keep up the great work!

[@JayWoodard]

Thank you 🙌🏻💯

I just stumbled on this and stopped it at the 1 minute mark. Why is the blacksmith pounding on a cold horseshoe? Why is there a 1/4" gap between the cylinder and the barrel on the revolvers? Not dogging, just asking.

[@JayWoodard]

To be honest, it all came down to budget! We had to use stock for opening titles and then all guns were prop guns 👍🏻

[@robertflint4115]

It's good. Loved the concept. Can't wait to watch more of your videos. @@JayWoodard

[@JayWoodard]

@robertflint4115 Thanks man 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

[@ScrewballMcAdams]

The film biz is about telling stories, not about prop correctness and detailed minutia. Get over yourself. You missed a good story.

[@ScrewballMcAdams]

@@JayWoodardSome people just can’t escape their need to demonstrate how smart they are. Regardless of your budget, there will always be critics like this guy who have a need to point out continuity errors, inaccuracies, prop and costume mistakes. Don’t ever let these jerks ruin the story of your film. A Seasoned Film Vet.

[@ScrewballMcAdams]

This was great! Good script, clear story line, humor, western gunplay. Short and to the point. Nicely done!

[@JayWoodard]

Thank you 🙌🏻💯

good film, keep it up

Thank you 🙌🏻💯🎬

[@outinthesticks1035]

Not bad . Some of the costumes looked a bit out of place . And having the stranger walking in through a field of wheat stubble, and then the tractor tracks in the background kind of took something away for me . But I've seen big Hollywood productions make the same mistakes

[@JayWoodard]

Thanks for feedback 💯💯🙌🏻

[@Ohnyet]

Dems wagon tracks !

[@fgcbrooklyn]

Wow, this "filmmaker" has over 50 friends and family members and every one of them left a positive comment. Isn't he lucky?

[@JayWoodard]

I also have douchebags leaving stupid comments. I’m so lucky 👍🏻

Lived up the road from Rivertown in Sallybrook.

[@JayWoodard]

Yes 🙌🏻⚡️💰

[@axerxes3981]

Outstanding!! Well done! Ax

[@JayWoodard]

Thank you 💯🙏🏻

[@michaelhester1328]

Great film! Why no blankets?

[@JayWoodard]

Thanks Micheal. The idea of sleeping rough was because when they robbed the banks it all went to sh*t a bit and that’s why they had to steal the horses to get away so had to leave their horses and stuff behind.

[@HongNguyen-lj5ym]

Better gunshot sounds please. Music is great, but gunshots sounding like fireworks ruined the movie for me.

[@JayWoodard]

They were the only fx I could afford making the film 😂😂 next one will have much better ones 💯💯

[@charlieandhudsonspal7031]

@@JayWoodardjust don’t get Alex Baldwin on the set. Better off with fireworks.

[@JayWoodard]

I know! Would love to make a longer one soon 💯

Gtreat 🎥 👏wish there had been a sequel.

[@JayWoodard]

@@jemartinez50ja thank you! There might be some day! 👀

[@RealityOrganized]

Not bad. But, an 8:30 film, with 2:36 of credits total front and back. In your next effort, strive for a better ratio -- more content, less credits.

[@joelhurley2678]

Hopefully you can do more Westerns. 😊 Great job 👏 👍.

[@JayWoodard]

Thanks Joel! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@laupernut]

Too much background noise sounded like they were next to a river. Corn stubble and is that tractor tracks? Should have been walking the treeline otherwise pretty good. Why was the guy spying on me bottom right corner of the screen?

[@patrickrheaume6984]

This was a waste of 9:44

[@JayWoodard]

Hardly a waste but thanks for feedback 😂🤙🏻
