I am thrilled to introduce Tarnation City, my senior thesis project for film school.

In Tarnation City, the rules of the Wild West have changed— When a key figure falls, all eyes turn to Rusty Malone and his crew, The Black Socket Boys. A secret message from inside the enemy ranks sets Rusty on a dangerous path, forcing him to face difficult choices about trust, pride, and survival. As tensions rise, Rusty must decide whether to stand alone or unite with those around him to challenge the forces controlling Tarnation City.

Tarnation City is a sci-fi western about loyalty, sacrifice, and fighting back against overwhelming odds. But in a world where honor and vengeance collide, victory always comes at a price.
