CONGRATULATIONS!!! A "oner" is so difficult, and this one IS SO COMPLEX!! I was a Finalist in the 2019 Single-Take Contest. I can really appreciate everything that went into this. It was a MONUMENTAL TASK!! So involved. So much choreography, including the camera movement and framing. A bunch of great people made this. Thank you for making it available to see.

[@tellwaypictures]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@Aurusmm]

LOVE HIGH CHAPARRAL@@tellwaypictures

[@gaiarailink]

I quite liked it, very well done. Not gonna lie, I did start laughing a bit during the fight, what with the bullet proof thin wooden table, the spastic flailing revolver aim, and the Star Trek gorn brawl. The fact that the whole story was told in one take, though, is down-right impressive.

[@honeybadger2332]

That was impressive!! Especially to do that much in a single take! Bravo!

[@420Stoner66]

Standing ovation! Fantastic, 8 minutes of masterclass viewing.

[@maxsand5618]

She had an angel on shoulder. The armoror gets an A+ the sparks coming out from unburnt black powder around cylinder was awesome. The gun handling also seemed authentic. Cap and ball pistols are quite heavy.

[@tellwaypictures]

They are quite heavy and actually failed on us a couple of times and didn’t shoot when they were supposed to. Luckily we could fix that with some VFX-magic.

[@mihailazar8536]

Wow, I didn't expect it to be so good, for sure it has to be nominated for Sundance or Cannes. I mean, this is pretty epic, good job!

[@williamkarlsson9962]

But like, no

[@aileenwagner2576]

Wow!! She's a good shot, even with both hands. The last guy shot could take a lesson from Tuco: "When u have to shoot, shoot, don't talk."

[@Timothy_Pitt]

05:48 Head shot Impressive special effects I wonder how? Good movie, thanks

[@africhapo6678]

Looks like a video game experience, pretty cool

[@Scratchingforcash]

I loved it!! Excellent job!!

[@thenebraskan6977]

Excellent short film. Awesome actors!

[@tellwaypictures]

Thank you! Yes, the actors really gave it all everytime!

[@s.nandheswaran.easwaran.762]

Most beautiful...really super...

[@princeavinashmishra421]

Some best seen in ages! Good work...keep it up...lots of love and respect from India.🙏

[@usernamenotvisibIe]

very "fuck yeah!"

[@sarhatnariman752]

greatest short film i have seen so far

[@karlbrady5453]

Very, very good!

[@reasonmattersmost]

Well done in many regards. Filming in one take really added to the immersion and realism. The 9+ shot pistols kinda distracted me a bit though. But I looked it up and there were 9 shot revolvers. So...bravo!

[@sonnyzeitgeist2570]

Excellent.

[@jonlee72]

Great movie.

[@michaelchristianson7743]

OUTSTANDING 😅😅

Cool, love it :)

[@berserker2012]

I could just see it now! Freakishly Cool! Like a third-person-camera video-game! And knowing after that's actually a one-take, even better! I could not resist to leave the comm...pliment! 😄

[@richardgroberto]

Amazing!

[@tellwaypictures]

Thank you!

[@goodolboy5795]

I was just waiting for Steven Seagal to show up somewhere in this!

Fuckin' wild! Some Gal!

So good damn

Great film

[@mrod7692]

Very good.

[@nathalieromero1190]

And after those years, our freed was gone!

[@jefflyon2020]

Except for the "wild" and inaccurate pistol skills at first (hell, who knows, i have never had to shoot and kill anyone more or less a small town full!), the fact this was done in a single take, without cuts or scene changes, all in one smooth sequence is impressive.The beginning of the movie "1917" has a really cool single shot the follows the actors for ten or so minutes.( so i was told, who knows?). some talented people out there that is nice to see are trying to do it without netflix funding or supervision.in fact so many long winded series taking off after the game of thrones craze is getting old and should be saved for the really great stories and writers out there. Hell on wheels is one that dosen't get the attention it deserves, actually.

[@jaqcp]

1917 is shot as a single-take film. You can see a few of the places where they cleverly cut, but it was edited to look as a single shot for the entire film. I highly recommend it.

[@Longtazz]

Suveränt Eddie

[@alexrivera5552]

Nice stunt work.

[@danielallenbutler1782]

I just LOVE these amateur "Westerns" were it's so obvious the actors have never before handled a real firearm -- not one of them. Great comedy -- I laughed from the first gunshot to the last....

[@nickdiaz6095]

Nice job!

[@tellwaypictures]

Thank you!

[@Albeare]

That was brilliant! well done, great to see a woman showing the she will take no shit from any man. look forward to other productions from this team.

[@MrCoder14]

What did I just watch? A heroin whos skill is moving slowly while no one shooting at her can aim. She shoots like she is having a seizure. And comes off as if she is more than Billy The Kid? Cool. Thanks for that.

[@sjalana1]

I wonder about those days.

[@TheJhndarwin]

Par excelonce

[@katlehto]

Very good. Is there a blue filter or was itshot in the evening?

[@tellwaypictures]

We filmed at 9:30 PM during the summer. It was still pretty bright outside, so our colorist Rafal had to make it darker. You can see before and after footage at this link: facebook.com/photo?fbid=1110953743008577&set=a.981538872616732

[@joppesvarld8741]

Mycket Bra.

[@Tom.88234]

What was the budget?

[@tellwaypictures]

Nothing, or close to nothing. We spent some money on fuel to get to the filming location and had free coffee and cookies for all the actors and extras. We filmed the short in a western there park in Sweden called High Chaparral. One of the members in Tellway, Samuel, has worked in the park for several years and just by asking they let us film there for free. All the cast and extras are people who usually works in the park and are friends of Samuel, so they were already there and accessible. The key is to have valuable contacts, talented friends and show gratitude to everyone who helps you to make your project a reality.

Inte illa. Riktigt snyggt.

[@ainokea4u]

So she rides off without a gun? Guess she can buy a new one but still...

[@vf24renegade23]

What language are they speaking?

[@tellwaypictures]

It´s Swedish!

[@vanwilder1101]

😂 Award winning lol- the magic 6 shooter with 10 bullets always fun. I'm sorry but if you're going to do a film about Billy the Kid- speak English

[@krishiyer3990]

Some kuppai

[@jshelhorse]

Disappointing until the left turn. Did not see that coming.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

I thought the lead character, Amy Mariah Catheryn Lewis (Amy Lewis) might be a real historical character, as William Bonney was. But I searched a bit and couldn't find her. So--just a fictional character is this story, I guess?

[@EddieLOL1000]

That's correct.

[@Aurusmm]

i went to kiss in dalhalla 13 july last show ever in sweden

[@conor2414]

🌸 ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ

[@da1247]

Not much of a story, but appreciate the gimmick of one take.

[@ezeemoni]

Why didn't one of you commenters warn me that is wasn't in English?

[@tellwaypictures]

We’re thinking of creating a English-dubbed version of the audio once multi-language audio tracks is widely available on KZbin. What do you think of that?

[@jackcharles1936]

shoddy

[@lamsiglo2170]

NOT BAD, NOT GOOD. It doesn't have to be that the girl's society appeared after the girl eliminated the enemies (without giving her any help).

[@menhera2]

何これ

[@JoseGonzalez-zo2zn]

Strange English speaking, in a Mexican town

[@duringmydeath]

I stopped watching after I couldn't understand the language... sorry...

[@tellwaypictures]

There's subtitles available in four different languages as we speak!

[@ThePanamaCollection1-lv5po]

Now those were some really bad shots......

[@stankygeorge]

A huge thumbs down! Just because a movie is Woke, only for the sake of being Woke, does not mean that it is any good and this one was not good.
