Temptation is all around us so we felt structuring a sci-fi story set in the old west with diverse ages and genders that everyone could relate to, would be a compelling direction to go toward. The experienced actors and crew members come from local theater and improvisational backgrounds.

 

A lot of western films focus on a certain age and gender look that we're hoping to steer away from. Not everyone was a saloon working girl or an old grumpy gun slinger. We want a variety of age groups as well as different genders in leads roles telling the story. That's just what we've done! Our lead doesn't fire a weapon and the villian of the film isn't what you expect. We're doing this but also sticking to good old fashioned western fun with a horror and sci-fi theme driving the story. 

 

 

The Project

The Alluring Frontier is set in the old west in the small town of Gulch which quickly gets consumed by a dark presence. Characters are soon introduced from different walks of life within the town as the dark force has taken the shape of an unsuspecting individual that is hunting an ancient dagger that one of the men has in his possession meanwhile turning the residents into demonic creatures called "Gulchers". After a large saloon slaughter, the main character teams with the town’s deputy that tries to shine into the sheriff role they need. An unknown stranger hell-bent on revenge is also forced to help them with a crazy prisoner rounding up the group that will try and stop this creature from taking over the town. The characters must try not succumb to the creature’s temptation and find a way to stop it from spreading like wild fire. If the dagger gets into the wrong hands, it will cause the extinction of the human race. They quickly band together with all the weapons they can find and leave it all on the line but they soon find out that the creature is more powerful than they thought.

 

About The Director

My name is Adolpho Navarro and I'm the director of "The Alluring Frontier". I've been making movies since the age of nine and I always strive to create unique stories no matter the genre or challenge. I independently produce and fund all my projects myself but I wanted to really raise the bar for this project set in the old west.  Whether its films produced specifically for Comicon, Film Festivals, International video contests, or timed filmed challenges. I have received first place recognitions for Best Director (4), Best Overall Film (10), Best Script (3), Best Post Produciton, as well as Audience Awards spanning across different film festivals. My team and I aim to raise the bar for each project we commit to and love to involve new faces and talent from the community. We want to work with passionate creatives like you to help bring our most ambitious project to life!

Timeline

We are scheduled to shoot for one day in December of 2017 but we would like to have more if enough funds can be raised. Post production will be until February 2018. A private screening will be scheduled before final release to the general public. Every donation helps!

 

Above and Beyond Goals

We are only asking for a small amount that will actually be needed to fully fund this project but we hope to have some stretch goals in place if we can raise what we need and more. Almost all the players involved from the actors to the crew are contributing at no cost in some aspect to bring this story to life. A lot of the lodging and location costs could allow us to shoot for longer production periods if funded (the actual production costs is about double).
