It's Monday, 6:09 pm and we just received confirmation from the Alberta government of receipt of our feature film grant application for BUFFALO BLACQUE, our $9m Canadian western.
Country western star Milton Patton is set to star and Bollywood legend Helen Fonseca will fill one of the major supporting roles.
Now we wait... and wait... and wait... and hope.
Still from last weekend's Buffalo Blacque photo shoot.
Will include the finished 80 second trailer with our application to the Alberta Media Fund for development funding. My professional actor son, James Andrew Russell, was the stand-in for this shoot but for the feature we hope country western star Milton Patton will play the lead in our Canadian western.
Wish us luck.
Image capture from the camera test for my feature film video trailer shoot tomorrow with ACTRA apprentice Andrew Russell... which hat do you think looks better for a seasoned, 20ish year old frontier Alberta cowboy?
We will be using the trailer to raise funds for the $11m western.
