SPECIAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION "INSIDE THE BOX: The Secrets of Shooting a Western on No Money"

Filmmaker BRETT WILLIAM MAUSER presents hints, tips and tricks on making a western for little to no money.

Using his experiences from his feature westerns like "Bass Reeves (2010)," "Lady Lawman," and "The Oldest Posse," Brett discusses the fundamental imagery of a western, including locations, costuming and firearms. He covers the importance of safety while stressing the story and character arcs while keeping in mind budget and compromise.

Mauser takes his experiences and knowledge from his more than 40 feature films and passes them on in this seminar that teaches filmmakers to think 'inside the box,' in order to save time and money while still making a fun, exciting film that audiences want to see.
