That young man is a fine actor. Very genuine. They need to give him the role if they ever do Bass’s portrayal in a film. Great job Marlon Ladd
bass reeves is my favorite historical figure. this film is so badass and captures all his charm!
I just recently learned of Bass Reeves. And after learning of him I wanted a movie, documentary, anything. Then I found this. This is awesome! Make a feature length, take my money!
when I first heard the story of Bass Reeves I thought to myself this would make one hell of a movie glad to see his stories finally being told
Thank you, Marlon! I am a retired California state peace officer. Bass Reeves has been a longtime hero of mine. Often, when I had a chance to speak with young black offenders I would talk to them of Bass. Most had never heard of him. Some were very impressed to hear of his exploits. America does not celebrate its black heroes much, least of all this great lawman. He deserves better. Your short film was well done and takes the first steps to bring awareness to a man that was a true hero! Many thanks, sir!
+Phillip Buechner Yes, he does deserve better. I hope to have more about him coming soon.
Nicely put
What people should understand is black history is American History and should be aware of not just the slavery era but the creative genius that shaped America, this should be a just cause included in ALL our Museum. I can't wait to see how they represent African and American history in the new Black history museum in Washington D.C. and if not to the utmost standard of black accomplishments we must forge it in.
Amen!
Damn Skippy, I say this all the time. YOU cannot cram 400yrs of History into just 28 days. Who came up with that math ???
Bass Reeves was american indian, Reeves is an Indian surname, He was NEVER A SLAVE, THATS A BLATANT LIE!
This makes me proud to be a blackman. Bat Masters, Wyett Errp, The Regulators before they went outlaw had nothing on Bass. I saw the gunslingers story on him this past weekend. I wish I could have met the man.
Awesome short film. It's amazing how much 'American History' has been suppressed.....
YUP. It's a crying shame and the youth of today need real life heroes they can admire and relate to, even if it is just the color of skin. The generations have suffered and more needs to be done to encourage, uplift and bring a sense of pride to the American Black Consciousness!
Yes, it is a shame, but it's up to people like us to bring this history to the forefront. Thanks for watching and enjoying the film. I hope to do others in the future.
I'm a lifelong resident of Fort Smith, and the story of Bass Reeves is well known. He has a statue downtown (part of the US Marshal's Museum project,) and he's buried in one of the older parts of Oak Cemetery along with several other Deputy Marshals and their families. His story is far from suppressed here.
Mostly the black parts
Not surpressed str8 up lied.
This is truly inspiring! My son just moved to Oklahoma. I will be sure to pass this along to him and my family/friends!
Really well directed, Marlon! Looking forward to an amazing motion picture on such an amazing man. The world must know who Bass Reeves really was.
Why don't they?..
Man this was so good and well acted, really enjoyed this.
This excerpt proves why knowing your history is very important I've come to know of this legendary lawman by way of conversation with someone 30yrs my senior listening to his reference regarding Bass Reeves made me do some research to give more understanding as to why his life's story wasn't told.
Thank you for posting this it definitely helped with bringing truth to the light for me.
Salute....
+Reginald Rogers Thanks for caring, man. I hope to do another film on him very soon and may go to kickstarter to try and do a feature.
I just learned the legend of Bass Reeves there's no doubt that he was one of the best maybe the best law men of his day.
I read about Bass a long time ago, and, wondered why no movies were made of him, his exploits were extraordinary!
These short films are every bit as professionally done as I've ever seen.
Kudos to you Mr Ladd. Keep plugging away you're on the right track.
Thanks, Robert! As long as people like you support my content, I’ll be here.
Great short film. You did a great job on it. I Applauded you for taking the time
to doing this story. Hope some day this story can make it to the big screen.
Or at least, one of the major cable networks.
I am a big fan of BASS REEVES! I read the juvenile book Gary Paulsen wrote about him, and began reading it to my 10 year old son. He has since read the book 3 times. I cannot wait for the movie to come out, if it hasn't already. I was planning to "commission" and challenge a HS class that I have started mentoring to write a screenplay based on his story! I ached to think that this man wasn't part of our greater American Awareness, our common consciousness, like so many outlaws from this time period were. I ached to think of him still unrecognized worse yet, in an unmarked grave! Now I know that there was a statue erected in recent time in Fort Smith, AR honoring him.. I pledge to take my kids there to see it. I am so excited that there may be a movie out about him! I will buy it when I find it.
From what I've read, Bass Reaves being described as the greatest lawman to have lived, would be pretty accurate.
we all need a bit more Bass Reves in our lives. thanks for sharing this story
My brother as a black man and military vet, im very interested in the story of Bass Reeves. We so desperately need his story told today. How do we push Hollywood to make this happen?
I enjoyed watching this short film of my historical hero. I wish there was more. GREAT JOB!!!
Stay tuned! Check out the second installment of this coming in a couple of weeks.
I live about 50 miles from the U.S. Marshall's museum in Ft.Smith, Arkansas. While visiting the museum, I found myself standing directly in front of the Bass Reeves display. Bass Reeves, in my opinion the most bad ass lawman who ever lived, brought in over 3,000 outlaws from Indian Territory to stand before Judge Issac Parker, The Hanging Judge. Right next to the horse saddle of infamous female outlaw Bell Starr, who out of respect turned herself in to Reeves, there hung his badge, spurs, long coat/duster, gun & holster, and his black wide brimmed cowboy hat. I love hats. I wear a hat all the time. Bass Reeves hat is the most awesome hat I've ever seen. Now, I'm normally a very honest law abiding citizen, but I got this irresistible urge to grab Reeves hat and run out to my car with it. Only a thin rope around the display stood between me, and Bass Reeves awesome hat. I fought the urge for several minutes and finally settled for sniffing Belle Starr's saddle.
+Grandpa the Grey Lol!! That's pretty funny! I haven't been there yet, but I have friends that have. I hope to be doing another film on him soon.
Marlon Ladd
I've thoroughly enjoyed what you've accomplished on film so far sir. Another film about Bass Reeves would be terrific. His life story would be fantastic! Tell you the truth, I'd never heard of Bass Reeves and his Native sidekick until I visited the Marshall's Museum. Now, I've read everything I can find on the man. He's quickly become one of my all time hero's. IMHO, Reeves is a true American hero who possessed more integrity, intelligence, and guts than most ten men put together. It's a low down dirty rotten shame Hollywood hasn't made a big budget movie about the greatest Lawman that ever lived.
Fantastic. Well executed. Great performances all around.
I didn't know about him, really enjoyed both the acting and the information. Well done!!
This was amazing to watch, well done! I have lived here in fort smith since the late 90's and the first time I even heard of this amazing lawman, was a few years ago when the town finally put up a statue up of this great man. My husband and I were watching the story of the statue being put up of Mr. Reeves and we thought how great that was, and they said how there was going to be this "big o'l celebration", to commemorate Mr. Reeves on this particular day. However Roland our unfortunate dismay we drive to the so called celebration and it was so sad! I'm serious, they had the local news out there and some ppl talking and taking pictures, but it was nothing that they said it was going to be too celebrate this amazing man, and we both said " yep, had he been white, this would have been hell of a celebration".... ( We didn't get out of the car, just drive by). So it was a pleasure to have watched this short film, I've learned more here about Mr. Reeves than I have living here for the last 20 years. Thank you, and I have to say how sexy you are my friend. :-) I would support a future film as well. Good luck!
+maria hernandez Thanks for the compliment! I hope they do more in the future and I hope to make a feature about this great man. Thanks for tuning in and please share.
Poor Bass Reeves. He will always be the Lone Ranger to me.
ive been growing my mustache out ever since I learned about Bass Reeves!
Post a pic!! Lol.
Thank you for telling this great Brown Man Story.
My first visit here. Very cool and...I actually learned something awesome! Keep up the good work!
Amazing short. Well done.
This needs to be a full-length feature film! I hope you do it, Marlon Ladd!
good shit. I will call this The Magnificent one
Enjoyed this movie thoroughly. Well done Marion Ladd.
wow that was you?!! Bass Reeves was awesome and Your work is top notch Marlon
Thanks, Michael!!
Nice work Ladd. Give us some more.
I would watch this movie over and over! well done!
Thank you! Wait until you see part II, Bass Reeves on August 31st.
Marlon Ladd I am looking forward to it!!
Great stuff, I think a movie of Bass Reeves should be done because he is indeed the greatest lawman of his time and not Wyatt earp like some peeps in hollywood would love us to beleive. Our kids should know more about such men in our history and not just Django
Was overjoyed to find out Bass Reeves was the REAL Lone Ranger. Can't wait for a movie. 56 now but Lone Ranger was my favourite as a kiddy here in Wales. What a brave bloke Bass must have been. Well worth a movie I reckon. " High O' Silver Awayyyy! " (leave that out of the new movie of course !) Good Luck and thanks for doing film.
One out soon
Very Nice! My son is working on a biography of Bass Reeves and we enjoyed seeing him brought to life if only for 6 minutes. Nice work. I hope you keep working on this project!
I do hope to continue making Bass Reeves films. He is definitely one of my heroes. Glad to hear there are more fans out there! When will your son be finished?
He finished it this weekend. It was very short (6th grade!) He was very impressed that Reeves brought in so many outlaws but only shot 16 or so. We really enjoyed your film!
Great! Tell him I'm proud of him and what he'll be teaching everybody that reads what he wrote. And thank you for sharing your knowledge with him.
Thanks! Ill pass that on.
Make sure he knows that B.R was NEVER A SKAVE, HE WAS AMERICAN INDIAN, REEVES IS AN AMERICAN INDIAN SURNAME..HISTORY KIED ABOUT THIS.
Love these stories! Bass was the best!
Nicely done. I would like to see a full length feature movie based upon this incredible real life character.
Ditto to all the comments. Short, but sweet! Great job. Looking forward to seeing the feature film with you in it.
Okay Mr. Marlon Ladd...you NEED to do a big major film about Bass Reeves! Your work in this video was "Beautiful" and well done from the writing to the editing etc. Awesome! You are indeed talented! I would love to see your work in a major film! Continued Success!
+Nubianqueen001974 I did one 15 years ago, but I wasn't as experienced as a director and an actor. I really want to do another one, so hopefully I can make that happen. Thanks so much for the compliments and for tuning in. Please share and spread the word!
Had never heard of him before but enjoyed it .
Badass Bass Reeves! Well done!
Good job. I really liked the twist at the end.
Awesome!
With his dedication to law and order, Bass Reeves was the Batman of the Old West.
Yes!! He was!
I had never heard of Bass Reeves. Now, I know why I loved the Good, The Bad & The Ugly.
Awesome short film. It's amazing at how much 'American History' has been suppressed.....
This is the one this cast and director should be the official crew for the story about Bass Reeves
You are the man bro . Love this Marlon
Thanks, mane!
Nicely done!
Its time for this story to be told by someone who can give it the justice it deserves
th-cam.com/video/87hB_ubXBbM/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
Wow! I guess I hadn't checked my comments here in awhile. Your responses are great!! It will fuel me to continue making films for the world to see that will hopefully entertain and inspire. Thanks so much for the positive comments.
The feature I did on Bass Reeves was over 12 years ago and was a fun ride. Because of the lack of technology back then and my directing capabilities, I would say this one is easily more representational of how I wanted to portray Bass Reeves. If you still want to see that one, google the DVD multi-pack titled, Band of Brothaz. I just saw one the other day on ebay.
Galyn Hembree I would love to do an edited version of the film for younger audiences. If you can make that happen, let me know and I'll work some magic.
Thanks again, everybody and please share and subscribe (if you have already - do it again - Lol).
This would be a great feature. I am interested in investing if it goes further, and is made into a film without profanities. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Yes.... It's a great idea! To make a feature film... About the Oklahoma territory in the late 1800's, where the most vile men in the world lived at the time... With people running them down, sherrifs, facing prison, stealing, killing, whores, saloons, death, murder... Without...ANY FUCKING OBSCENITIES. well dadgummit there bass, ya sure fooled me this time again, I'll just go ahead n throw my hands in the air, and gosh darn it I killed these nice native Americans, but it was just a little tomfoolery, I also acquisitioned a horse that belonged to an African American man, but, I will pay for my dues, oh shingles its you..got.. Me! That's how it was in the old west right?
Look at the man's history. Also, research the language used during that era. Ignorance, is not bliss.
Apparently so..
Awesome. I read Bass Reeves was the real legend behind the Lone Ranger.
Never knew this before. Good job on production. You should definitely write a screenplay and get this into a full length feature. Disney should have done it right but since they did not... you still can. Looking forward to seeing your future work. I loved the Lone Ranger series when I was a kid and your short was just as good as any of the episodes were.
Excellent job, Mr. Ladd. I hope you will do a full-length story about Marshal Reeves.
Bass Reaves is a lawman who's deeds exceed the ledgend.
That’s the truth!
A great work of Art. Just plain Larger than Life.
Wowwwww! That was good!! OMG, is this like one of those shorts you see nominated for Awards like Sundance, Academy, or Oscar. Well, I like it that much. I loved and appreciate the telling of the Real Lone Ranger!
Just given credit where credit is due Marlon. Talk about Bass being the real Lone Ranger...Throughout the early 70's, I was racing horses on the California circuit with the original "Tonto", from the original Lone Ranger series, who's real name is Jay Silverheels, and who kept it real...I look forward to seeing more of your films in the near future!
Liked and subscribed. Thanks.
You need to make more movies and adventure of Bass Reeves. Love to see excellent entertainment and the truth
You’re so right and that’s exactly my plan, Stephanie. Thank you!
@@marlonladd Please do , I love to see beautiful people making movies that is very interesting and has a good plot, believe me this is my first time looking at your movies , I'm spreading to e word with family,friends, and customers.Keep doing the good work for your new found, flims please do more western and scfy movies .
Can't wait to see full movie
This was great. Keep it up!
Bad ass history. Wish this was feature length
One be out soon
I really enjoyed this! It was done well!
Thanks, Mr. J!
I need to see the rest of this mans story
the real hero of our people
Please stay tuned for my new short on Bass called, Bass Reeves. The trailer is on my page and thanks for the support.
Great Video. This would make a great TV series. Have you approached any of the TV networks or indie studios? Maybe even Amazon or Netflix for an original series. Best of luck!
Great work, if you ever need additional casting, I'd love to be involved. Cheers
Ken Ellis - I haven't yet, but once I get the new short film finished, I will. 👍🏽
vincent alfonzo jamal - Thanks, man!
A great man, and a good short film.
Great short
IM WAYYYYY LATE TO THE PARTY BUT I REALLY ENJOYED THIS SHORT !! Great Job ! 💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks!!
Really, this is amazing...
Bass Reeves was the baddest U.S. Marshall ever.
great work!
Bass Reeves was the best gunslinger in American history bar none.
I don't care who does the film, but Wesley Snipes should be starring in the role of Bass Reeves!
Nicely done....
Great Video
Great Film! needs to be a feature and I'd love to score it.
Way better than the Lone ranger. No, he is his own, and deserves a feature film or TV series. Much respect.
Plus, I really like your films, keep it up.
This is excellent! I would like to see more. I believe you could update it and drum up some support for a major release, or use the film as is to garner some major league support from the big studios to get a wide release with major funding, effects, editing, etc.
Mr. Marlon
That was riveting and I loved it. I'd love to see more and I also subscribed. I shared it with my entire family who are big Western fans. I will let them know to give a like thumbs up and leave a comment. Good things brother
You should definitely be the leading role for a full movie. Great shorts...
Thank you!!
@@marlonladd Good Sunday morning thank you for your time to respond. Also big ups and great acting by all who were working with you! I enjoyed it and everyone who was in it. Bravo and hopefully you can make it an Encore with full movie or series. I say contact Oprah Winfrey production because based on his life and history this could most definitely be a season of a series production. Whatever you do or whomever you contact for consideration just send them your shorts... Your shorts speak for itself! Stellar at that! Ijs! Take care Marlon and stay blessed.
Awesome!
This man was a hero. So much respect
I so enjoy movies on true history, straight from the actual records without left or right bias. Tell the history as told and let the audience decide.
Thank you guys so much for the comments!! You keep me going. The second installment of this called Bass Reeves will be up August 31st 2017, so stay tuned! I will also be running a gofundme and/or kickstarter type campaign to do a feature. Love you guys!
Hey, Tara. Glad you liked the film! I could edit you a version and mute those curse words out depending on when you'd like to show the film. I would love for you to show this to your class. I made this film to help educate and get the word out about Bass Reeves, so let me know.
The newest film is now up! Please check it out, like, share, subscribe and leave comments. th-cam.com/video/B8BC2gvhdG8/w-d-xo.html
I miss the iconic mustache... other than that, great work👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
A real MAJOR MOTION PICTURE needs to be made about Bass Reeves!
I agree!!
Awesome make 10 more 7 minute clips with a backstory, climax and connective theme and you have a feature film!
Easier said than done, but I'm trying. Lol!
Seriously though, I would watch the shit out of this movie. Please make this haha even if it's a low-budget movie, I've read up on Reeves and the dude was a badass. Get a kickstarter going or something man!
4lkemest I just might consider that. I've done Kickstarter before, along with some other sites and it didn't work out. I may try again though. Thanks for watching.
Wow this was great, I looked it up after I was watching Jimmy Kimmel interview Morgan Freeman, he said this was the role he always wanted to play but never got the chance to
That was awesome.
Nice work! great history also
This was not the wild wild west. This was the wild wild Oklahoma!
I really liked that. You really need to consider making a feature length film! :D
