Cowboys & Engines
A steampunk short set in an alternate-history version of the American frontier in 1876.
Cade Ballard, the former ambassador from the nation of Texas, and Guinivere Wheeler, a smart and dangerous con artist, fall in together to protect a scientist whose pet project – the Temporal Engine – threatens to destroy entire cities if stolen by the wrong hands.
We are producing this under the SAG Short Film contract, which means we can use both union and non-union actors. Even though allowed under the contract, base pay will NOT be deferred. Base pay will be $200/day. Rates are negotiable for name talent.
Production is slated to begin in late October. We will be shooting for six days in Los Angeles and Nevada.
