Cowboys & Engines

Zeppelins. Rockets. Steam-powered robots. It’s 1876, and Cade Ballard has to get to Mars…

Description

COWBOYS & ENGINES is a labor of love, an attempt to create something completely original and visually stunning. The film will be a festival piece we can all be proud of: a fun, exciting ride that never becomes silly or tongue-in-cheek.

The script is tight, with sharp dialogue and great characters. The cast is first-rate, and though the creative professionals behind the camera might not be household names, they’re a respected team capable of working miracles.

It was important to us that the world of COWBOYS & ENGINES feel very real. The characters have human flaws, goals, and motivations. The machines are designed as if they really work, with everything carefully executed to be the perfect balance between form and function. The history makes sense, and gives this world a backbone that runs throughout the narrative.

We wanted the 1876 of COWBOYS & ENGINES to feel like it isn’t our world… but it could be.
