TIMES LIKE DYING - Western Short Film

[@Scratchingforcash]

The acting in this movie was excellent.

[@BlackKettleRanch]

Good story. It was plausible. All of the acting was good. Costumes, etc. All good. I believed the characters and actually cared about them in a short time. That's good and efficient character development. You could make a TV series out of this.

[@petery414]

Exactly !

[@michaelolz]

I’m sitting here stunned. What did I just stumble upon? I’ve never seen better acting in a short film.

[@manofaction1807]

The Western Genre is back on the menu!!!

[@hcp0scratch]

FANTASTIC study in moral dilemma and Americana! PLEASE tell me this won at least one award! Bravo!

[@shaquilleotmeal5179]

This is the most perfect you can get with a short film

[@bradtwalker]

This is an great story. The acting is excellent. The storyline is awesome. I like the cinema. Your choice of actors and actress is wonderful. I believe them. Thank you for showing me your movie.

[@apope06]

Came here by accident. Very well done. Better than some movies ive seen

[@trevorrmills3052]

Fantastic..better than some of the big budget Hollywood movies..well done!!

[@anthonyreynolds866]

@Trevor Mills Thank you for kind comment! We worked hard to tell a compelling story with believable grounded characters.

[@jmnga20]

I'm 72...this movie is as good as any western ever. Also another take on a heist gone bad.

[@kennashley3114]

Good acting,that black nurse maid played a great part,the coughing sheriff was excellent,and white lightning didn't let on to anything

[@brianralston1579]

Best 22 minutes of a movie I've seen in a long time.

[@allenquartermane6134]

With great short films like these, I have no longing for hollywood anymore!!!!!!

[@ZeRowe]

What a story you can tell in 22 minutes.. 22 minutes is an eternity when someone has 100% of your attention. Use every 22 minutes you have! Well done to the creator.. 🙌🏻

[@anthonyreynolds866]

Wow! That just made my day! Thank you! Thank you watching and commenting!

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

[@StoutProper]

When 22 minutes is an eternity I’m not sure the storytelling is that great

[@josephcarter2520]

@Guinness It's great alright

[@tombstone4986]

Just wow...

[@thadstudebaker3370]

Thank you for this gift. Everything was top notch, which made for one of the most riveting productions I’ve watched in quite some time.

[@djgriffin7393]

What a gem. Four movies like this are better than anything that comes out of Hollywierd.........

[@anthonyreynolds866]

@DJ Griffin Bless your heart. We really appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching! We love storytelling. Glad that you liked it. Much Obliged.

[@daleheath9680]

It's shorts like this, that restores faith in the magic of motion pictures. Thank you, to all involved!

Nicely acted. The Sheriff looked like a real mean bad ass you don't wanna mess with when he was sitting down in the beginning.

[@toniiboy]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@ssppeellll]

Top-notch casting. Distinctive faces with plenty of character. Very believable performances. Great job.

[@CircleStreetMP]

+ssppeellll we were very fortunate to work with amazing actors. Thank you for watching.

[@jdearing46]

Now that's how you make a western. Acting was top notch for sure.

[@CircleStreetMP]

Thanks John. A lot of hard work and selfless people.

[@elijahmonn3757]

Circle Street Motion Pictures , mate that was awesome. Music, filming and especially ALL the actors were so convincing. That was one of the best cowboy movies I have watched. Well done to you all. Brent

[@MichaelLee-dt1iw]

This is the result when a film is made for love of the craft versus love of the box office. Well done.

[@rubinmendoza13]

This is an excellent film. Thank you for sharing… I’m a city-slicker (Los Angeles), but this film reminded me how much I miss a great “Western.”

[@HarryTheEustreptospondylus]

Better than most modern movies!

[@davidcooper2856]

Have gun will travel with Richard boone 30 minutes. Some of the best ever.

[@earthsucks9555]

Palladin,The Rifleman, Wanted Dead or Alive.

[@badseednut]

When short movies are far better than hollywood

[@CircleStreetMP]

Let's keeping making them.

[@shaunelijah7634]

That's correctly spelled Hollyweird : )

[@orver1]

Badseed Nut When you use a subordinate clause to write an incomplete, nonsensical sentence but you think it sounds profound.

Luffaman - always an ass in the bunch!

[@jeffffro7674]

I have an immense amount of respect for anyone who can take 20 minutes and tell a story better than another who happens to have unlimited cashy money and 2 HOURS to work with!! Pretty sure back when that writer strike went down, the money men told em all to go kick rocks! They figured we can make comic book movies till forever! They didn't think for a second though, there will be people who are 'starving artists' that will come along and take down Hollywood with a few go pros and a good drone pilot! These shorts are getting better every day!

[@westoftexas]

Sat down for lunch at work and was looking for something to watch and this showed up in my feed. Decided to give it a try. That was so great! I'd like to see Jim Cody Williams in more westerns.

[@Scratchingforcash]

Wasn’t the older guy in the beard in the movie Tombstone? Great film by the way. I love short films!! 👏 Bravo

[@andrewharris1837]

The best short movie i seen posted here.stylish,good story,great scenes

[@naturezone6655]

A dark little western indeed.Love the chemistry between the dying lawman and his nursemaid.

[@luiebr]

Best western i’ve seen in a while, Thank you so much for this

[@artsmith103]

I was 33 seconds in and I realized this was going to be better than usual. Great clever voice over to just introduce the robberies.

[@CSMOtime]

Bravo, well done. Actors and actress are 1st class. Many thumbs up.

[@banditb86]

Wow this was better and better acted then most movies I have seen lately. time well spent...Well done

[@anthonyreynolds866]

@bill Burke Bless you heart! We appreciate the kind words! Thanks for giving us 22 minutes of your day! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carloselizondo7671]

Better than most full length movies I've seen lately.

[@tombstone4986]

Just ..... WOW!

[@brucebissell7626]

AWESOME. THANKS FOR A GREAT WESTERN. 😇

[@suukuriido8053]

This was excellently done, and it was a pleasure to watch. i subscribed, and would love to see more.

[@garycooper9055]

I am 69 years young. I was raised up on and loving Western movies and television programs. Worked on one of my uncles ranch until my very late teens. I have always dreamed of the cowboy life. I am so happy to see westerns coming back into the cinema..

[@johnwheeler7674]

Stumbled upon this by accident. Best 22 minutes I’ve spent in a long time. Absolutely outstanding in every respect! Thank you for sharing your art with us!

[@CircleStreetMP]

You're welcome. Very glad you enjoyed the film. Feel free to share it with your friends and family. Cheers!

[@killerhappy8778]

I didn't even realise I was sitting here for 22 minutes, that is when you know your watching something good.

[@johnnycapone4210]

I agree.

[@timcotter1881]

Just found this and have to say it is excellent. When you have a good story, you really don't have to act. That's how I saw this. The actors became the characters. I love westerns and miss seeing good stories like this being told.

[@johnlopas900]

Awesome! Too bad Hollywood can't make a decent Western anymore. Thank you!

[@AugustHunicke]

Well done, nice to see good prevail. Movie depicted moral pivot points well.

[@brettd530]

One big problem with this, it's about an hour and a half to short. Good job to all involved. Very entertaining.

[@anthonyreynolds866]

@Roy Cairns Thank you kindly for watching our film and for your kind remarks. We greatly appreciate you!

[@macdermesser]

This excellent western is a little gem that escapes cliche. Writing, acting, photography were all great and the director used them all to advantage in weaving a memorable story.

[@ziaulhaq6727]

Where was this buried ? Great cinematography & perfect blend of characters ,with a slim storyline.

[@non_regulars]

I had Myke Holmes as a teacher. Great guy. I saw this film Premiere about five years ago and it’s still great!

[@mickemike2148]

Feelings were surely felt in this one!

Totally enthralling! Absolutely genuine!

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

What a story! The Characters were built up quickly and precisely in minutes. A feat that no writer's I've known who can do this in cinematography so quickly? I bow to you genius. Thank you for sharing your Art. The acting was awesome.

What a great 'little" film. More guts, brains, and logic than mainstream releases. The score was excellent, as was the acting, editing, and direction. Very well done.

[@anthonyreynolds866]

@Riskmangler What a great handle you have! Thank you for watching “Times Like Dying” A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into making this little film. Thank you for your comment! We truly appreciate every view and comment!

[@anthonyreynolds866]

@Prone Rider 562 Thank you for watching. A series is something that we have considered. A massive undertaking…

[@coady-wp3xf]

if folks keep making great short films like this westerns will make a great comeback.

[@gonzalobenites202]

Awesome ,i love western movies with meaning. Hope to see more

[@teamgreen404]

That is one awesome short film . I enjoyed it so much that I have watched it twice . Thanks to all of you that put this together for our entertainment.

[@jackshyt4]

Wow. I am blown away. Jim Cody Williams was unreal. "I can still do it! I can get our farm back!" Can't wait for you guys to have a full length feature.

[@vikingmedic8107]

This was excellent. We never get enough westerns anymore.

[@Joel_Maverick]

As a young boy I grew up on westerns from all the greats like Roy Roger's, the Lone Ranger and John Wayne. I have been wanting something like this for years! This was amazing!

[@paladinfalconer8578]

I grew up watching all of the greatest TV and big screen westerns. This is a fantastic movie. Well done.

[@anthonyreynolds866]

Great acting and charisma by the old guy. I'd like to see him more. He could fit right

[@scottmills3770]

That was friggin good. Really good.

[@elizabethgaspodnetich4322]

I grew up on westerns, and this was one of the finest I have seen. Well done! It felt like it came out of a theater, but just one scene from the middle of the movie or something. I could have watched it for another hour!

[@susee69]

Outstanding! Bravo!

[@unleashedrider4309]

We should all be grateful that we didn't have to pay a dime to watch this took a lot of money in a lot of effort to make this film thank you we appreciate that

[@vakhtangkiziria7820]

Such gems prove that art of cinema is alive. Such brilliant results from small time projects and dedicated likeminded group of folks rise a question about film corporations in Holliwood actually choking the substance out of cinema. The surrogate Holliwood had been feeding us with gets increasingly hard to even digest. Why, oh why?

Brilliant . . . so good everywhere . . . Thank you for uploading .

[@jerrylamey1503]

[@jamesavery9581]

Not bad.Not bad at all.The Western genre is in high demand.It is very difficult to find a modern western that isn't infected with politics.Please continue the genre.You will reap many rewards.Thanks again.

[@CircleStreetMP]

Thank you!!!

[@sojournsojourntraveler1203]

Goes to what is known as common sense . Clear to see the difference between pride and Integrity. Pride is the bad seed.

[@Chanurn]

The best westerns these days are not traditional westerns. Hell or High Water for example.

[@seefilms]

The exact same thing can be said for nearly ANY western ever made... From the high profile ones to the b-movies. From the 20's all the way up into the 00's. It's a big reason why the genre was made in the first place. It's a simplified setting to throw all sorts of complicated things at. Politics is one of the main ones. (Just watched Shane again, last night...it's all over that movie).

[@albakreuk5830]

James Avery can't get any more political then bank robbery, banks being corrupt & in the pockets on every level of government, even if there *_IS_* *_NO_* discussion of politics in the movie. Action against politics is just as loud as words, nonviolent action is always better though.

[@handyman1310]

wow, I love it, very very well done people.

[@thecowboy9698]

This was really good. What I really liked about the show about the older man, is that he wasn't a bad man, he was just desperate and wanted to save his farm and everything that he worked for, and he saw no other way to do it. I wish they had made a sequel to it.

[@diffmiss]

Excellent piece of work

[@BambooBob]

Wow! I am not easily impressed. This was better than MOST westerns from Hollywood. Good Storyline, drama, acting, music, camera work, and video editing!!! I only wished there was more!

[@julieenslow5915]

This is very short - but also very good. Worth the time.

[@jonsey3645]

The best film that I have seen in... way too long. I am neither film maker nor critic but with a product like this things like cinematography, periodicity and editing are so seemless as to be blindingly obvious. Thank you many happy returns.
