Chained to a Cowboy
comedy // western // 20 mins
A lonely cowboy is hired to transport a really, really annoying prisoner.
Chained to a Cowboy was my first 'serious' short film. what it lacks in technical prowess, it makes up for with heart and comedy.
immediately upon its release in 2021, it became a bit of a cult classic, racking up attention around the Madison area with my various friends-of-friends-of-friends groups.
i remastered it in 2023 and now have a finished product i'm happy with.
it's a movie about friendship in its various forms.
i hope you laugh a little and enjoy it!
