Fantastic short.
Beautiful, authentic, touching, and morally aspirational. Nicely done!

User said...

Absolutely beautiful. The scenery was breath taking which provided a majestic portrayal of your beloved WY. Inspires me to plan a 'trip west' to view God's handiwork in person. Loved the scene with the Holy Bible and quoted OT scripture at the end. Great job POM. I'm proud to know you and look forward to watching your star rise -- it is much deserved. Thank you for portraying a character with unquestionable morals and ethics.

User said...

User said...

This movie depicts a great hero story portraying astounding old west morals and the ruggedness of the time period. The suspense draws the viewer into wanting to see more of the story. The scenery was not only breath taking, it reminds me of all of the great western movies I grew up watching as a kid. Well done!

User said...

Great job fellas!

User said...

Wow! I really loved this piece. Great photography and story. Makes me proud Patrick is a Wyoming boy. Well done Patrick.

User said...

You done a great job on this. I am thrilled to watch it.

User said...

Patrick, I enjoyed being a part of this great film and sharing Old Trail Town with you and your crew. I think you nailed it with this one. The scenery shots are terrific but I wouldn't expect less from a professional location manager. I loved the theme and how you presented it. You kept true to our western culture and heritage. Kudos! Now, let's get together for the next one. I've got the story, you've got the talent........

User said...

Great Film.
It has many layers of excellence.
Visually Beautiful. Stephan not only captured interesting characters but also
illuminated the majesty of the landscape.
Pat & Rob's performance kept well to the character period. Well done.
The music is the real standout here. Emotional but not overbearing.
Outstanding effort ... 5 stars!

User said...

I give it a 5 star rating... authentic and visually beautiful. Nice job and best of luck

User said...

Speaking as a western bronze artist.. I'm relieved to see a authentic western. Thank you so much for putting this film together.. Authentic, that's what got me. Thank you.

User said...

Nicely done, Patrick. You forgot to mention that you were starring in the film when you mentioned it. I'm impressed. The clear winner for me.

User said...

Outstanding work guys! As a ex-pat wyomingite I say: this film must win- when have you ever seen wyoming look so awesome! Great job Stefan! Dynamite work Pat and Rob! Better start prepping the next one.

User said...

I just wanted to say Great Work! I know all of you put a lot of time and effort and froze your butts off making this movie, all on a modest budget no less. The soundtrack was awesome, the cinematography was stunning and your acting wasn't none to shabby either pard. Cheers to you and your galant crew! Hope I get to be in the next one.

User said...

A stunning piece of film making, to be sure. But what’s even more captivating is its parable-like story line which does not exhaust or explain itself on its first viewing.
While the film ends quoting the vengeance of Deuteronomy 7:7-9, “...and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy; ” the film really is more about the mercy of God found in Luke 10:25-37. “" ‘Which of these ...do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?' The expert in the law replied, 'The one who had mercy on him.' “
In our age of muddy morality, and situational ethics, Mignano gives us a reason to examine our hearts as to how and why we act, or should act as human beings. And in case you think you have these issues figured out, viewing this film will have you retracing your thinking on the subject. “And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." Mica 6:8
Absaroka is a short film that will have a long life

User said...

Congratulations! Great narrative, awesome scenery and superb execution! Cheers

User said...

What's the budget on this? Shouldn't there be separate categories, say for people that have $25k to burn and those who could benefit much more (relatively speaking) from winning the grand prize?

User said...

You better vote right here!... Better not cut up, nor otherwise harm no whores... or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons of bitches.

User said...

W. Raymond Hellings said...Posted 2 hours 41 min agoAbsaroka! ***** Lest we forget the people both bad and good that made the west what it was. Primative often but settled by Americans with strong values and the desire for Justice. This reminder is all the more important when we must educate new citizens about our country.

Show this in schools for balance of whats being taught.
