POST PRODUCTION
We have once again started post production, and are preparing to complete the project by this fall. Thank you to all who have been patiant and supportive throughout this entire project!
To finish the film the way we want, are looking for an editor who owns Adobe Premier, and will help us integrate audio work we have been doing. By the end of August, whatever state the film is in we will begin getting everything ready to distribute the film in the various mediums, as well as all the other rewards.
If you or someone you know is able to help us finish the film, please let us know.

THE PROJECT
Showdown at the Rock'n R is a short western (30 mins) produced by Aaron Holmes and directed by Matt Giles under Aaron's production startup: Begotten Entertainment. We made a couple films back in college and decided two years ago that it was time to retel our first film, The Showdown (2007), in a larger format and with other actors. We have learned a lot about story telling, movie making, and life since our first production.
We began writing the script for Showdown at the Rock'n R in the summer of 2012. Pre-production started in February of 2014. Production was June 28th through July 6th.

WHY THIS STORY
We are making this film as an opportunity to spend time with family and friends, give people of all skill levels the opportunity to pursue their dreams, and tell a really good story.
This film encompeses our personal love for classic Westerns, adventure, and unique characters. Matt and I have worked on the story for two years. Through that time it has morphed as we have grown and changed. The story we are telling is a "classic" western that follows the protagonist through his struggles to find community.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES
Let's start with where it doesn't go. Production value for a western is actually pretty high when you consider the cost of horses, wranglers, guns authentic buildings, and vista locations. We had access to beautiful locations, 100 year old barnes, horses, guns, etc, all for free.
This is an all volunteer project designed to bring people together and empower them with opportunities. One of the core ideals of this project is to develop a culture of honor. We wanted to honor everyone volunteering as cast and crew by providing food. We also needed to pay for some equipment rentals and costumes.
Now that production is completed, we are raising money for film festivals entrance fees and the development of future projects.

RISKS & CHALLENGES
Independent film making is about being flexible and resourceful. We have an amazing team of creatives that have gathered around us to make this project come to life. Many of them want to continue working in the film industry and on other projects.
When the editing process is complete, we want to get the film into as many festivals as possible in order to get our cast and crew exposure. We would consider it a huge success if we could help them find other opportunities by getting our film out their and showing off their incredible work.
