Friend of the Devil is the pilot episode for a traditional Western television series.  The episodes will follow an ensemble cast of authentic characters through stories that provide moral accountability and action in the wide-open landscapes of the West.

“We are the Next Generation of Western Filmmakers.  The stories of grit and glamour, as well as the moral character and self reliance portrayed in Westerns, is important to keep relevant in today’s varied choices of entertainment.  The Western is definitely a niche market, but we feel that we can communicate a good story that will transcend every generation.”  Director – Eric H. Heisner
