ABOUT THE FILM:________________________________

Log Line:
It's the 9th inning of a high-stakes baseball game. The batter faces his worst adversary. The Old West. Jonathan C. Edwards confronts the nightmares of his past. Their destiny is about to be decided.

Director's Statement:
"The Showdown" brings together two aspects that are uniquely American, Baseball and the Old West. It is a short action/drama film, about the confrontation between a pitcher and batter in the bottom of the ninth inning of a one-run baseball game, juxtaposed against a deadly duel between two gunfighters in the Old West.
This is a story about duels and duality. About loss and redemption; and how history can repeat itself...

Thanks for stopping by to say hi! :-)

Glad to hear you like stop motion animation! We love it as well, though it's particularly of interest to our Editor... who is currently trying to get funding for her next short film project (coincidentally enough, a stop motion animation!)

We've had a busy couple of weeks getting issue 3 all ready to print. It hits the presses on Friday, so it will be ready to send out to the world very soon.

We're going to start blogs on our page to keep everybody up to speed on the latest developments, so please stay in touch!
