ABOUT DIRTY DOZEN:
From January to December 2020 Travis Mills—a Southern film director hopes to make twelve western feature films—one each month. In the past, the director has chosen to work with local actors to give them experience, which he plans to do again for his twelve westerns project. They include a middle-aged man recovering from depression due to a horrific attack ten years ago. There’s an aspiring female African American actor. This grandmother of nine moved back to Mississippi after thirty-five years in California in the hope of more acting opportunities. Also, there’s an ex-cop from Biloxi Mississippi who is now a screenwriter for Mills. The communities in which the 12 Westerns are filmed become an enriched backdrop to the main event. Watch how the project affects each location and its people. From start to finish—preproduction and casting to the final wrap party, take the journey on the shoulders of one man with a vision that has twelve stories and countless endings.
