Bandwagon Films is pleased to announce the production of its second feature length film, Cowboy Smoke.
Bandwagon Films is a Texas based Production Company committed to producing cutting edge films in the state of Texas. Bandwagon Films commitment will be in the form of its second feature length film, Cowboy Smoke. The film will be directed by talented up and coming writer/director Will Moore. Moore’s first feature film, Wesley Cash, was made for the astonishing low price tag of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) and is currently being distributed through Vanguard Cinema. At present Cowboy Smoke has commitments from actors Matt Johnston, host of the popular discovery channel series It Takes A Thief, and Chad Mathews, the title character from Moore’s first film Wesley Cash and Mike Lutz who has been seen on Fox’s Malcolm in The Middle and NBC’s Crossing Jordan.
Cowboy Smoke in is a modern day action western that is inspired by the gritty and some times ultra-violent spaghetti westerns of the 1960’s who’s protagonist were motivated by personal gain rather than social obligation. Among the themes explored in Cowboy Smoke are illegal immigrant smuggling, father-son relationships, societies morals vs. personal morals, crime, poverty, and the American dream. In the vein of stylized modern action westerns like Desperado, Once Upon A Time in Mexico, and Kill Bill 1 & 2; Cowboy Smoke will blend rich unique characters, high octane action with a story that addresses an important social issue, illegal immigration.

Hope you have time to view my daughter’s portfolio. It looks like for this film you might not have a role/part for her age range. She is 15/petite and has an age range of 11 - 16 yrs old. Perhaps you might be willing to save her online portfolio. Thank you for your time and consideration.
