Bill and I could not be prouder to share that Eastern Western, the epic western that Bill and I were honored to provide prop guns and on-set weapon wrangling/armoring on has now been released on Amazon Prime Video. It’s a beautiful story of an immigrant widower, his young son, and an ambitious family of dreamers all heading West to find their American dream. Shot on location in Montana, New York, and Bosnia, the cinematography is breathtaking! If you get a chance, please check it out! Congratulations to everyone at El Jinete Films on an amazing piece of story telling! Thank you for letting us be a small part of the journey. (And the gun fight at the end of Act 2 turned out amazing!!!!)

Getting shot on camera vs what it looks like behind the scenes.

In the movies, manipulating camera angles keeps everyone safe when using blanks. Notice in the behind the scenes shot, the marks on the wall the actress is aiming at. She never pointed the gun at either of us. But on camera it looks like she did.

The truth about why blank guns are dangerous. Make sure your armorer knows this!
