Fear the Unknown Men | Award Winning Western Short Film | Nigel Barber, Pippa Winslow | ARRI Alexa

[@TimotheeLee]

I love westerns and this a good one. Very well told excellent story. Thank You

[@keymaster430]

The lady who played Rebecca (the madame) did a great job! They're all good actors, but she really shined.

[@gwestfall]

I found myself hating the cowardly sheriff and then realized that is exactly what the actor was trying to pull off and it worked. The viewers were also manipulated to hate the wanted men criminals which also worked perfectly. One could feel the evil of the lawless west and the price we all pay when our protectors are cowards. I would have preferred the sheriff letting the last guy go though the ending seems open for options. A sparse perfectly executed barren landscape echoes the hearts and hopelessness which abounds. A very dark yet realistic depiction of some lawless place now a forgotten ghost town. Interesting camera work and edits. Lots of promise here with bright futures for some.

[@Riskmangler]

What a surprise. The plot twist, injection of morality, and ultimate acceptance of responsibility make this a dense and thoughtful short film. Excellent.

[@ScrewballMcAdams]

I really enjoyed this film. Solid performances. Effects were excellent. Even the music was great. Love that the American western is alive and well even across the pond.

[@kicsisziszi]

I liked it. Good one. It does not want to be more than it is.

[@TheTranquilityTown]

I really enjoyed this short western movie. Very professionally made in every sense. Well done to all the participants. I hope it will not be your last western!

[@robert-yv2yj]

This was was a superb production. Good story with a nice twist at the end. These short movies leave the mainstream movies, with a few exceptions, way behind. As ever only one complaint; they are too short. But suppose the clues in the title.

[@nitewindow]

Really enjoyed the music.

[@kylelindberg7771]

Interesting use of the old "bulletproof table" trope.

[@mikereid2865]

Many quality performances and way beyond my expectations. It's not often that the music enhances the film but this production ticked all the boxes. Many thanks for making this available.

[@joelhurley2678]

What a great movie and it was worth all my time to watch it it was very well-acted. Thank you so much and hope to see more of you're westerns.

[@TheJhndarwin]

Love the song at the beginning thank you

Short, sweet and to the point. Thank you.

[@Raccoooo]

This is brilliant! Thank you for providing such beautifully in-depth characters. I like how this isn't a typical western. Good job!

Love the Clint Eastwood impression

[@hughbarton5743]

Nicely done.

[@phillipschroder285]

Some one who painted himself into his own lifes corner. No way out.

[@donaldblair1982]

Well done, captivating, well shot and edited. However, the ending fell a little flat. Fantastic effort overall! Let's have more!

[@ordyhorizonrivieredunord712]

The real question is: How many men can leave this town without a horse? The answer is: Only one man with a horse🐎.

[@jamestatum7759]

Pretty good movie

[@stevelewis7263]

How did this ever win an award, was the award the "Rip Off Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Western Award"

[@tefinnegan5239]

As if there is such a thing as an original thought?

[@louislamboley9167]

The judges were either paid well , or there's a relative involved , or the judges were good friends. A misrepresentation of the West in every respect.

[@alexcampbell3032]

Nice shades for the wild west.

[@robanderson473]

I believe they were originally called eye preservers and sun goggles.

[@shawndashno6022]

Sunglasses, or "colored," glasses were definitely used in the 19th century. They were invented around the mid 1750's, and by the 1800's they were used mostly for health related reasons, such as eye fatigue, and sun blindness. They were also used for syphilis patients, as sensitivity to sunlight is a symptom. They were not widely used until the 1920's, where they were used more as a fashion statement, and resembled the modern day look, that we know, more closely.

Loved it . Cast me on the next one akadroldog

Which Arri Alexa is this and what lens did you select for this work of art?

[@scottpartlow8912]

Not bad Western, I did hear a bit of Clint Eastwood whisper talk.

[@tomslongguns443]

Very good . I have a hard time watching western anymore most arent made very well .

[@sjalana1]

That's means is gonna be a sequence.

[@Driftwood64]

I really loved this. This was as good as any big movie I've seen. One question though, did the sheriff shoot him in the end?

[@davediamond7228]

that is left up to the individual viewer...

[@johnp9581]

we heard the gun shot!!

[@shirleyk6009]

I like Clint

[@andrewsmith-xh9sf]

5 minutes is enough to know that the next 15 mins will be just as bad.

[@ericarnaud7983]

It took you five minutes? You must have been distracted. I was convinced it was pretty bad before the Open credits were over. 🙊

[@steveffuksake]

The next 15 minutes got really good 😂

[@JohnSmith-cc3ud]

Then make a better one. I thought it was pretty decent.

[@jaydoster]

Outstanding! * Opening credits however, served only as distraction from visuals/atmosphere. Not invested in seeing who did what until end...

[@borntosurvive2803]

Who performed the song in the beginning

[@pamelapower9253]

Excellence

[@markplumb3968]

Kinda annoying reading some of the negative comments, that I bet would be from people who have never made anything…. The only thing they have contributed in their life is a few useless negative comments…….

[@farmerrog3679]

what is the name of the song at the beginning and the artist?? does anyone know?? Jack pierce did the music but I can't find anything else.

Sorry you angry cow pie eaters, it's a decent western.

Intro song is to long and film was worse from there. Ugh!

[@tf-td8cs]

Plot stolen from Clint Eastwood film...too many standard western tropes

[@Give-a-foot]

I watched until the end. All around garbage. Some fair blocking and sets, otherwise insipid melodrama. Award-Winning? Pathetic.

[@richardkirk5098]

This plot rips off Unforgiven.

[@thebeardedone1225]

Lol. Award winning? Must have been the winner of the stupidest Western award...

TROPIC pictures??? NO TROPICS HERE!!! "scenery" was ugly. raspy voice, irritating. the general mood, dismal.... i'm stiiil wondering, whooo gave the "award"... the producer? maybe the writer? & the award was 'for'...??? is evil, hate, murder & revenge 'really' up for honors? not to mention--- he walks in unrecognised? ha! & waits for his move til 'after' they're scattered? the only good part was the sheriff's last line! if i've made you curious you may waste 20+ minutes. sorry to have met like this.
