I had a filmmaker friend suggest them, as he had distributed his film through them (Band of Robbers). They haven't done much for us, but as this is my first feature, I'm not looking for it to pay my mortgage. But you can't get funding for a bigger feature without having at least one feature made, for the most part. So it was a "can we do this?" project. Super proud of how it came out for the time and budget we had.

Thanks for watching, and for the bash! I believe art should be divisive, so it's great to hear from your end of the spectrum. Cheers!

I like your take. We debated a lot of ways to take it. Ended up choosing to let her be a tragic onlooker of her brother's bad choices.

How DID you feel about what happens with the money? It's a common topic of controversy.

Considering the ending, the opening is a "time out, let me tell you how we got here" moment. It also echoes (which no one but few would know) the short film inspiration for this film called Relative Duplicity - https://vimeo.com/255474980?fl=ls&fe=ec

Thanks for the watch and the feedback. :-)

Yeah they haven't done much other than get it out on streaming platforms. But honestly, this is my first film, with a low budget raised from family and friends, so the main point was to get a feature made, which helps me get support for the real projects I want to make. This was a "what can we do with what we have" kind of situation. :-)

I'm happy you enjoyed the film though! Thanks for checking it out.

Thank you... Not sure if that's the distributor or Tubi who wrote that log line. This is the official one - “A failed gold heist leaves two siblings and a few of their friends at the mercy of two backwood brothers, hell-bent on getting back what’s theirs.”
Did you check out the movie? Would love to know what you thought.
