By the time 17 minutes was over I had laughed, I had cried, I had sat on the edge of my seat, carving claw marks into its arm rests and warmly sobbed with admiration. It felt like I had just watched a 2 and a half hour movie. I want to nominate this for "best movie to watch stoned" award. Powered by 420 👽

You said everything I was going to say almost to the word. There's nothing else to be said...

That was a great story. We need more of that.

Need more of everything these guys do. Brilliant work.

My favorite part was having my son play younger me in the film! Something we will cherish. 😊

I KNEW there was some striking resemblance between the younger and older characters! I commented like several months ago from another account stating how good the young/old characters resemble each other, and now we know the secret ^_^

Nice work cast, writers and crew. Thank all of you for being a part of this production. Big nod to the technicians involved. All of the behind the scenes work is often un-noticed. I noticed. Very well done all of you. Thank yopu for creating this bit of cinematic joy.

These shorts are killer and the black licorice ain't bad either.

This was pretty amazing! That ending tho 😢

WOW ...DO IT AGAIN , DO IT AGAIN ... We need more like this ! ! !

That got real serious real quick. From fun & laughter to life, death, & the end of a lifetime friendship in the blink of an eye... What a great short movie! Best short movie I've ever seen.

Excellent. Keep makin' magic, Rawlins!

Production values worthy of, no- BEYOND that of many Hollywood units!

Funny, infuriating, exciting, heartbreaking, touching. This short film squeezed out every emotion in 17 minutes. A most pleasant way to spend some time in front of the computer.

How is this not famous yet? so underrated

Great story, I enjoyed it very much. Had goosebumps in the end.

Thank you for a great movie, best of luck for continued success!

Great film!!!

That was outstanding. What a wonderful story.

Very well done, and very moving.

Best short film I’ve seen in a long time!

Santee sent me here and it was well worth the travel. This is an amazing little movie. More compelling than most of what Hollywood vomits on screen these days.

Well done.

That was AWESOME!

Give this man 2 hours of run time and a bigger budget! The only thing I could have wanted more is him setting for the portrait for the artist only to have his friends face painted instead of his using the likeness from their photograph together.

Damn, made my eyes leak........

I'm in literal pieces 😭😭 I'm so proud of you, all of the time and effort you put into this was amazing. Ethan is so cute!

Came over from the Arizona Ghost Riders video was decently surprised of this is absolutely fantastic

This was really good. I was completely sold on the best friends "rivalry", so while it wasn't a surprise Jack's death still hits hard. It's been a long time since you've uploaded anything, but I'm here for it :) clearly it was time well spent!

All I can say is "WOWEEEEE" This short film was definitely a 1st class act all the way through on every little detail. Made me believe that I was actually viewing the old west on my screen just like it really happened. Highest marks for realization, costumes, locale, and clear, bright, sharp photography. The surprise ending was Awesome!!! Thank you so very much for great entertainment!!!!

Bravissimo Michael!!!

This reminds me of the westerns of ol'. There was always something wholesome aoubt the messages conveyed.

Love you guys! These films (all of them!) are AMAZING!!! But this one... I laughed and cried and felt pain... and pride... And I totally fell in love with the characters...

How does this only have 10k views, but someone acting like a robot and making weird sounds has millions? This is such a good film.

way better than what is coming out of Hollywood

Got here from Santee at Arizona Ghostriders. Great movie. I will be watching more.

Very nice short. Was fun recognizing people from Trail Dust and those involved with Arizona Ghost riders. 👍

That was great! Had a lot of laughs, and a few tears watching it.

Beautifully done. Congrats to all involved- but the kids almost stole the movie. Waiting for the next one...

Loved the kids! The one with the brown hair is my son. So special he got to be in it.

Loved it! Give my deepest thanks to everyone involved!

This should be made into a full length feature film. It is a great movie short

That was a really good western short, I was lucky I watched "Arizona ghost Riders " today where Santee mentioned it, so thanks to Santee (Who I spotted at 15:07)and congratulations to on the great work.

I really love it! ❤🤠

Love it!

What a great story I enjoyed watching very much.

That was great reminder your best friends and how they helped you.

It was super fun to be apart of this!!

Loved it! Fantastic job to everyone involved!

Beautiful short, and a very touching story. This should be a prime example for any short film

That was a good story, and recognized some of the extras that was cool too. Great job everyone! I hope this goes far.

Santee said it was good, and it was. Looking forward to full length westerns made by someone that seems to care about them.

I am really glad Santee showed you to us all, now I can watch your vids

This is so amazing. Well done all the way around. I hope you get to do a full length version. You have great skills.

Fantastic! So many beautiful emotions, but also masterfully filmed movie. Bravo!

Awesome film. I'm such a huge western fan and I will say for sure your projects are so much better than the full length movies that get released now and then. You're such a talented man, Michael. I hope you keep doing what you are doing because you are so good at it. I'm a big fan of your westerns. And lots of kudos to the family. They are awesome as well. ❤🤠🙏

This guy needs to be making more money. He can make some seriously great films.

great short story, brilliantly realistic fighting, well done on character development and costume design. lol him pulling out the knife made my inner first responder training scream at him to leave it in, but they never do in movies 😂😂

Love your stories, can't wait for the next one!!!

Loved all the kids learning how to be deputies, what a heartwarming story!

This was incredible. Thank you for making this.

Greetings from Ireland. I heard about this from Santee on Arizona Ghostriders. Good job. It's a heartwrenching story.

I heard about this film on the Arizona Ghostriders. Very well done. Coming from an ancestral western lineage and still part of the culture, I found it really enjoyable and a credit to Western cinema.

Top notch. BTW, I'm English and in "The Dentist" Michael Rawlins had me fooled. - I thought he was English. I went back to watch it a couple of times and the only thing that wasn't prefect was when he used the world "Talked". In England we purse the lips to form the "or" sound in "talk". You pronounced it subtly like "tokked" our way sounds a little like "tawked". I'm only mentioning this because, so far, yours is the best British accent I've heard from an American. "Jolly good show, old chap".

came from Arizona Ghostriders will differently will stay ..... good work

Best of the West!

The giggle punishment 🤣🤣

That was fantastic. Please keep making these. They deserve big screen credit.

Mighty fine western picture show that was. I reckon I'll be takin in a few more directly. 🤠

now THAT, was a movie, sure a short movie, but still holy flip 100/10 guys well done!

That was a well done film, I very much enjoyed it, I hope to see more in the future.

I can’t even imagine all the work that went into making this short! Great story line that was very entertaining, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Great work from everyone involved! 🤠

This is heartwarming. It gives me a throw back to the magical days of Disney movies. Made me laugh multiple times and I really liked the casting. Well told story too not to mention.

Excellent sets & costume. The main character was well cast.

Brilliant I am (and you are) ready for a couple more hours worth of that. I hope to see you on the trail. 🤠

Very well done, Michael. I enjoyed the story as well as the quality of the production. Too bad Hollywood can't make movies that have a real story anymore that move you and engage you in their plots. Rather than the crap the child groomers are trying to force down our throats.

Great story. Good acting and awesome directing and bringing story to life.

Really good movie, really sad about his friend though.

Wow, what a great story!

Great short film. One thumb up is not enough.

You surely have a grasp of all the little things it takes to make a great Western! I enjoy your films so much, they are so well done and have aspects of the old American Westerns as well as some of the great Spaghetti Westerns of Leone, Corbuicci etc. Fantastic job, you have a fan here my friend. I think that your casting is also great. This one was a supreme short film. I hope you can continue with your art, my friend. I would definitely pay to see a full-length feature with you at the helm!!

A wholesome tale.

A true masterpiece

Super showing great buddies Companionship rivalry in a good way🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍

Great film. I love a good western. Thank you for sharing. Really appreciate all the hard work y’all put in.

What a fantastic video and the perfect ending

Probably a wierdly accurate portrayal of history for some small American town.......like mine.😮❤

Beautiful story
