    Jon Gries (Napoleon Dynamite) has a Western on Kickstarter!!

    Since the story for "Another Man's Gun" arose from the Old West legends of America's past our Director Jon Gries and myself, have been so preoccupied by chasing money the old fashioned way that we forgot all about the power and potential of Kickstarter!

    We have decided to fund our DEVELOPMENT AND PRE-PRODUCTION WITH YOUR HELP USING KICKSTARTER!! The money we are raising will go into the further research and development of our production including: Final location scouting in CA, NE, and LA. Finding our lead actor for 'Buck'. Shooting our Winter scenes. Shooting our opening scene. Contracting with other actors and professionals. Insurance and equipment. Crew and Cast. Rehersals, Editors, Composers, City and State Filming Permits and much, much more!!

    For us it would mean that a dream we have had for many years is on the path to becoming true! And we won't be able to do it without you!

    Another Man's Gun is the story of Buck, a young pioneer in the early 1840's living on the Unorganized Territory of what is today Nebraska. Following the death of his father he has no choice but to move into the home of the old land baron Greguson. Along with Theresa, his mother and two little sisters, Cynthia and Julia, they are worked like slaves and endure daily abuse by the man and his half-wit son Willie.

    The day comes when Buck has the opportunity to provide a better life for his family. He takes a job to retrieve Edna, the new teacher for his bustling frontier town. And he is to fetch her from New Orleans. For this job he'll receive one hundred dollars and he will use that money to buy his own land and build a home where his mother and sisters can live a good life....."that's if that teacher makes it back here alive....."

    What makes this journey most incredible is that this is the story of us. The story of me, the story of you. The story of America, of it's spirit and determination. The story of what we do everyday to provide and create a better life for the ones we love. It's an extreme example of doing what you have to do against all odds in an amazing time and under amazing circumstances!

    He's my fav actor, just like Harry Oldman and Charlie Rose. By the way, the last one created his own foundation and his own entertainment project, here is their Charlie Rose customer service if you're interested.
