Former local, Adam Gilmore, is part of a filmmaking collaborative called Farmland Dynamite. The Milwaukee-based team consists of alums from UW-Milwaukee’s Peck School of the Arts. Farmland Dynamite has shot a short film called Savageland, and now that their Kickstarter campaign over-funded their financial needs, post-production can begin on the flick. Savageland, categorized in the “mid” western genre, is a riveting story with guns, girls, horses, and cowboys. 

The plot: “After his horse is stolen and his friend is killed, Sheldon Miller goes on a path of vengeance that leads right through another man’s dangerous ambitions for a reformed society.” 

The film stars Scott Bailey, Tim Higgins, Andy McCain, Russ Borchardt, and Adam Gilmore. 

Though the release date is still to be determined, you can check out the official trailer on YouTube. They also have a Facebook page with sweet behind-the-scenes pictures, videos, and and more from the folks at Farmland Dynamite. And stay tuned for the final product.
