I KNEW there was some striking resemblance between the younger and older characters! I commented like several months ago from another account stating how good the young/old characters resemble each other, and now we know the secret ^_^
By the time 17 minutes was over I had laughed, I had cried, I had sat on the edge of my seat, carving claw marks into its arm rests and warmly sobbed with admiration. It felt like I had just watched a 2 and a half hour movie. I want to nominate this for "best movie to watch stoned" award. Powered by 420 👽
Nice work cast, writers and crew. Thank all of you for being a part of this production. Big nod to the technicians involved. All of the behind the scenes work is often un-noticed. I noticed. Very well done all of you. Thank yopu for creating this bit of cinematic joy.
That got real serious real quick. From fun & laughter to life, death, & the end of a lifetime friendship in the blink of an eye... What a great short movie! Best short movie I've ever seen.
Man, the VIOLENT tone shift when he died, where we as the audience and the character both realized that this isn't a game any more. This was immaculately handled, and I genuinely had a single tear escape from both eyes.
Funny, infuriating, exciting, heartbreaking, touching. This short film squeezed out every emotion in 17 minutes. A most pleasant way to spend some time in front of the computer.
Awesome film. I'm such a huge western fan and I will say for sure your projects are so much better than the full length movies that get released now and then. You're such a talented man, Michael. I hope you keep doing what you are doing because you are so good at it. I'm a big fan of your westerns. And lots of kudos to the family. They are awesome as well. ❤🤠🙏
You guys made a 17 minute movie that is a thousand times better than the 2 hour films of theaters! Love and luck to everyone that helped make this masterpiece!
Besides the fact that his horse disappeared after the huge fight, this was an amazing thing to watch. As someone who truly values a "clean" movies, this was amazing!!!!!
This was really good. I was completely sold on the best friends "rivalry", so while it wasn't a surprise Jack's death still hits hard. It's been a long time since you've uploaded anything, but I'm here for it :) clearly it was time well spent!
All I can say is "WOWEEEEE" This short film was definitely a 1st class act all the way through on every little detail. Made me believe that I was actually viewing the old west on my screen just like it really happened. Highest marks for realization, costumes, locale, and clear, bright, sharp photography. The surprise ending was Awesome!!! Thank you so very much for great entertainment!!!!
Love you guys! These films (all of them!) are AMAZING!!! But this one... I laughed and cried and felt pain... and pride... And I totally fell in love with the characters...
great short story, brilliantly realistic fighting, well done on character development and costume design. lol him pulling out the knife made my inner first responder training scream at him to leave it in, but they never do in movies 😂😂
Give this man 2 hours of run time and a bigger budget! The only thing I could have wanted more is him setting for the portrait for the artist only to have his friends face painted instead of his using the likeness from their photograph together.
I heard about this film on the Arizona Ghostriders. Very well done. Coming from an ancestral western lineage and still part of the culture, I found it really enjoyable and a credit to Western cinema.
This is heartwarming. It gives me a throw back to the magical days of Disney movies. Made me laugh multiple times and I really liked the casting. Well told story too not to mention.
Top notch. BTW, I'm English and in "The Dentist" Michael Rawlins had me fooled. - I thought he was English. I went back to watch it a couple of times and the only thing that wasn't prefect was when he used the world "Talked". In England we purse the lips to form the "or" sound in "talk". You pronounced it subtly like "tokked" our way sounds a little like "tawked". I'm only mentioning this because, so far, yours is the best British accent I've heard from an American. "Jolly good show, old chap".
why you only have 16K subs is the biggest mystery..as you can tell from many comments below you folks are admired and impressed..with Marvel and Disney putting out such trash with a "message" you stay with great scripting..great acting..and a full range of human emotions..bravo..here is wishing you become widely popular ..as you well deserved..
My favorite part was having my son play younger me in the film! Something we will cherish. 😊
I KNEW there was some striking resemblance between the younger and older characters! I commented like several months ago from another account stating how good the young/old characters resemble each other, and now we know the secret ^_^
It's a big, beautiful job! The light, the locations, the game is at the highest level! thanks!!!!
Michael, thank you so much for this.
I'm impressed by the quality. I kept expecting a short story, but you made it a decent length.
I’m REALLY enjoying your work - Your family must be so very proud of you!

You said everything I was going to say almost to the word. There's nothing else to be said...
Yeeeah, This is Madea of Western Short Movies. The potential is astronomical.

Need more of everything these guys do. Brilliant work.

WOW ...DO IT AGAIN , DO IT AGAIN ... We need more like this ! ! !

Got here from Santee at Arizona Ghostriders. Great movie. I will be watching more.
That was great! Had a lot of laughs, and a few tears watching it.
That kid has more licorice in his hand than I've eaten in my entire lifetime. I'm 65.
Underrated comment
He spit it out after taking a bite😭
Go back and watch it again. He HATES licorice and giggles.
How can you hate black licorice?
How can you like it??
You guys made a 17 minute movie that is a thousand times better than the 2 hour films of theaters! Love and luck to everyone that helped make this masterpiece!

Some of the best 17 minutes ive ever enjoyed watchin a shortfilm , i see an oscar in the future here
Great film!!!
That was great reminder your best friends and how they helped you.
Wow! Fantastic work, please make more !! Mitch, Australia.
Loved all the kids learning how to be deputies, what a heartwarming story!
Great story, I enjoyed it very much. Had goosebumps in the end.
Beautifully done. Congrats to all involved- but the kids almost stole the movie. Waiting for the next one...
Loved the kids! The one with the brown hair is my son. So special he got to be in it.
Mighty fine western picture show that was. I reckon I'll be takin in a few more directly. 🤠
I am really glad Santee showed you to us all,
now I can watch your vids
Besides the fact that his horse disappeared after the huge fight, this was an amazing thing to watch. As someone who truly values a "clean" movies, this was amazing!!!!!
Well done.
Amazing ! Thanks to Santee for the knowledge of this great short film !
This was really good. I was completely sold on the best friends "rivalry", so while it wasn't a surprise Jack's death still hits hard.

Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏻
Love you guys! These films (all of them!) are AMAZING!!! But this one... I laughed and cried and felt pain... and pride... And I totally fell in love with the characters...
The giggle punishment 🤣🤣
A great heart warming story. Well done.
Putting Hollywood to shame!
Very nice short. Was fun recognizing people from Trail Dust and those involved with Arizona Ghost riders. 👍
So lucky to have them be part of it! Thanks for watching!
That was fun
Love your stories, can't wait for the next one!!!
That was a good story, and recognized some of the extras that was cool too. Great job everyone! I hope this goes far.
A beautifully made film.
Came over from the Arizona Ghost Riders video was decently surprised of this is absolutely fantastic
Sent here by Santee over @AZ Ghostriders and I am glad I came over. This was awesome and I really hope it gets turned into a full length feature!
That was great. What a beautiful story and set design.
Excellent sets & costume.
The main character was well cast.
Loved it! Fantastic job to everyone involved!
This is way better than 99% of the movies that came out in the last years.
How does this only have 10k views, but someone acting like a robot and making weird sounds has millions? This is such a good film.
great short story, brilliantly realistic fighting, well done on character development and costume design. lol him pulling out the knife made my inner first responder training scream at him to leave it in, but they never do in movies 😂😂
Give this man 2 hours of run time and a bigger budget! The only thing I could have wanted more is him setting for the portrait for the artist only to have his friends face painted instead of his using the likeness from their photograph together.
Santee sent me. Glad I came by.
Wow, is all gots to say, what a awesome story and very nice work.
Greetings from Ireland. I heard about this from Santee on Arizona Ghostriders. Good job. It's a heartwrenching story.
Wonderful!! I thoroughly enjoyed this. Keep up the good work.
Great job! Beautiful work 🎥
way better than what is coming out of Hollywood
This is so amazing. Well done all the way around. I hope you get to do a full length version. You have great skills.
Santee said it was good, and it was. Looking forward to full length westerns made by someone that seems to care about them.
I heard about this film on the Arizona Ghostriders. Very well done. Coming from an ancestral western lineage and still part of the culture, I found it really enjoyable and a credit to Western cinema.
Your films have that amazing big budget western look!😃👍
Hopefully, we get to see you in one of these short films
This is heartwarming. It gives me a throw back to the magical days of Disney movies. Made me laugh multiple times and I really liked the casting. Well told story too not to mention.
What a fantastic video and the perfect ending
Heard about this from Santee (AZ Ghostriders), and glad that I found it. Liked the story, and the surprise ending.
