‘DUSTY, DAMNED, & DEAD’

SYNOPSES:
Wyatt walks into town with one purpose: to find the man who left him for dead. He heads straight for the town’s crumbling saloon - a broken-down relic, barely standing. Inside, Sydney Barlow, Wyatt’s old partner turned traitor, sits drinking beside a young, cocky gunslinger, Damon Johnson. The saloon is already quiet, tension simmering beneath the surface. When Wyatt steps through the doors, Sydney freezes, like he’s seen a ghost. The weight of old sins fills the air. Sydney scrambles to talk his way out, spinning excuses with that same silver tongue. But Wyatt isn’t here for words. With steely resolve, Wyatt throws Sydney out into the harsh light of the street. No more talk. No more running. Wyatt guns him down, swift and unforgiving - retribution delivered in full.

OEDIT's Film Exposure Program is helping build Colorado's future workforce by equipping high school students with essential, real-world filmmaking skills, including directing, acting, producing, writing, and editing. Through hands-on practice, students gain valuable professional experience and build resumes, directly contributing to the growth of local workforces and strengthening their hiring potential in the burgeoning visual content industry.

Some of them have gone on to participate in an internship opportunity with Downtown Grand Junction and Grand Junction Creative District - GJ Creates, putting their experience to use creating social media content that grew engagement.
