In this desolate land of dust, rust and blood, there's not many problems that a fast horse and a gun can't solve, but things aren't always what they seem on the wild wasteland frontier.

Matt Inns https://www.facebook.com/littledragonpics "Heart is certainly the word that comes to mind when unravelling The Ballad of Maddog Quinn. However, that emotional core is delivered through some kinetic, old-school filmmaking, an approach that (personally) had me pining for ’80s action-movies. Shot on location in Tekapo, in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, Inns admits he “rooted a lot of the style in Sergio Leone’s old school westerns”, bringing as much of his short, as possible, to life through practical FX, the director employed “squibs, blood, practical sets, miniatures” and the incredible backdrops of the setting to paint a vivid and immersive world. - S/W Curator, Rob Munday FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2023/11/20/the-ballad-of-maddog-quinn/ *CAST + CREW* Director/Producer/Writer Matt Inns Executive Producers Steve Barr, Daniel Story & Paul Swadel Director of Photography Marty Williams Production Designer Steven Woller Costume Designer Terzann Elliott Editor Jonno Woodford-Robinson VFX Supervisor Frank Rueter Sound Designer Michelle Child Music Tane Upjohn-Beatson Stunt Co-Ordinator Ike Hamon Main Cast Maggie Pirie, Jed Brophy, John Bach, Ben Stewart Reproduced on this channel with the permission of the filmmakers.
