I Shot the Sheriff – a Western film project

March 3, 2020

Three years ago I had an idea. It was a great idea. Although it remained just an idea. It's no longer an idea. Shall I just get straight to the point? I'm writing a movie, a big movie, it will cost a lot of money to make. Am I ready for it? Hell yes!
