Alberta-based production company Numera Films recently wrapped up a week of filming in Drumheller with the production that’s kept their team busy since June.
‘Project: Six-Shooter’ is the working title of the project, and many of the details are being kept under wraps.
Producers Griffin Cork and Morgan Ermter are co-producing Six-Shooter with Andrea Materia, owner of Greater Fool (the largest global YouTube network for legal streaming of movie content) and his new company, Greater Fool Films LLC.
“This is one of the most ambitious projects we’ve ever had the pleasure of undertaking,” says Ermter, “and we’re really looking forward to sharing what we’ve been working on.”
While the team is under some strict NDAs, they can share that the project fuses the horror and western genres.
The story follows three old west traders who get wrapped up in occult and supernatural dealings. Talent connected to the project include Reamonn Joshee (Wynonna Earp, Billy the Kid, Guilty Party), Emily Howard (Joe Pickett, My Life with the Walter Boys) and Alice Wordsworth (Crow) with Ermter and Cork directing.
The collection of companies has also confirmed that the project will have a world-wide release.
Project: Six-Shooter is taking the cast and crew all over the province. Filming locations have included Lethbridge, Bassano, Sundre, East Coulee, Calgary, and now, Drumheller.
“We owe a lot to the strength of the independent industry in Alberta.” says Cork. “We’ve felt a lot of love in terms of hometown support, but the work that the community has been doing to bolster the film scene here is absolutely integral.”
Cork also shares Project: Six-Shooter touts local Drumheller talent like John Barry
Graham, and Chris Graham.
