Synopsis/Details
I want to explain a bit about why I wanted to write this piece. One time, a reporter asked Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman if could ever do a Western, to which Bergman only laughed. Now, as a fan of both Westerns and Bergman, I wanted to explore what a Bergman Western could be like... and so I came with this story.
Now, Bergman is one of the greatest filmmakers of all times, so in no way I can compare my short script to his works, but I tried my best. Since Bergman liked to explore the darkest, most twisted sides of human being, I wanted to write a Western that did that and the result was, well, interesting to write.
