A dramedy

Picture
Logline: A redundant middle-class Englishman competes with his family to employ the Old West’s pioneer spirit to establish a new set of values beyond the status quo.


'Once Upon A Time in The West' meets 'The Royal Tenenbaums' in a quirky contemporary English Western about a warring oddball family.

A feel-good story. . .
English 
suburbia is our endless rolling prairies. . .
Britain's urban sprawl is our 'New West'. . .



Tagline: 'Who doesn't want to do things differently?'
