Trailer
El Western blends romance and comedy with a good ol' fashion high noon showdown. Sending up spaghetti westerns from yesteryear and driven by over-the-top characters, the tale focuses on El Bandito, the meanest Mexican in the West, and his encounter with Sheriff Dan, the long, lean, and oddly attractive lawman of Rosebud. The pair share a mutual attraction; loathe be they to admit it, for they each have jobs to do and reputations to uphold. The Romeo and Juliet of the West? Well, actually, it's a little more complicated than that ... |

Director's Statement' El Western was a film we (Karl and I) talked about for a long time, a script we had on the go for two years, sitting not forgotten but brewing in the background while we worked on other projects. Finally the time came to bring the story to life so we gathered the most amazing cast and crew and drove up to Kattemingga for a wonderful few days of filming this Wild West adventure. And if that sounds simpler than it actually is, well, it's because I truly believe that all you need is imagination and determination and you can do anything.' ~ Ivan Malekin |
