The Blood Trail Saga:

Blood Trail part 1: Winner of Best Western at the Action on film Festival 2010

Blood Trail part 2: Winner of Best Action Short at the Action on film Festival 2011

And now - we bring you the final chapter - Blood Trail part 3: Trail's End.

A Chance for the audience to make an impact.

Friends and family have for years told us there need to be better films to watch. For that purpose we created BLOOD TRAIL - a three part series of short films that when completed - will be rolled out as one feature film. Audience participation has been vital to these projects and has helped us raise enough money to complete the first two parts. Now - we are increasing the budget and the scale of the film to bring you the finale you deserve.

THE STORY OF BLOOD TRAIL

PART 1: A young man's life is destroyed when his wife is murdered and he seeks vengeance. While hunting the villains down, Caleb accidentally kills an innocent woman. He himself is then hunted down by the man that was once his teacher.

PART 2: Picking up where the first short film left off, Nathaniel is returning home after capturing his rogue student. But everything is not what it seems. Ambushed on the trail, Nathaniel discovers that his student may have been set up and there is a greater villainy at work.

PART 3: In the finale, student and teacher ride off to face the villain they think is behind the killings, only to learn that the treachery goes much higher than they could have imagined.

Why Help This Film?

Great action, amazing vistas, and a story you can be proud of.

With Anthony De Longis - one of the great action directors and fight choreographers in Hollywood at the helm - BLOOD TRAIL is set to be one of the great western films of our time. After working with hundreds of Hollywood's best actors from Tom Cruise to Harrison Ford and having fought the legendary Jet Li - it was time for Anthony to break out on his own and create this memorable, thrilling and action packed western film. Set in Texas in the mid 1800's, Blood Trail tells the story of Love, murder, revenge and justice. It opens with beautiful vistas and a somber tone, then quickly escalates into epic western battles that will feature Anthony's weapon of choice - the Bullwhip.

What We Need

We increased the scale and budget of the second film, and now - Anthony and the rest of the team are preparing for the grande finale. This film will be around 45 minutes long and filled with several fight scenes and incredible dramatic action that will need a larger budget. PLUS once this version is finished, we will be combined all three films and will need to pay for a final mix and color on a full length feature. (That price alone is normal 20-50k) Because of our connections and the skill of our team, we are able to cut down what would normally be an enormous budget - to a few must have items.
