A buddy Western with low-tech lovability

by Sally Mitani

posted 4/6/2012

Fans of the Western might have noticed that it's not so easy to mount one on a live stage, where the big sky will always look fake and cheesy. Fights and stunts, even if they look OK, are dangerous, and how can you do a Western without wide-angle shots of horses and stagecoaches? We all know the Western has a look and feel that was made for film.
