About the Films

Reforging A Legacy
Directed by: Bryan McLain, produced by Several Guys
Synopsis: Dan Weatherby, grandson of Roy Weatherby (Weatherby Guns) adds to a family legacy of creative innovation. Taking old stainless steel rifle barrels, Dan forges beautifully crafted san mai damascus knifes using mostly tools that he made. Dive into the story and vision of a true artist based out of Paso Robles, CA.
Crimson Cuffs
Directed by: Madeline Vail, Produced by 3 Virtues Films. Starring: Sandra Glinka and Ben Furney
Synopsis: Laurena goes on a blind date at the behest of her pushy mother despite her feeling that “something just doesn’t feel right.” After appearing to be stood up, Laurena finally decides to listen to her inner- voice but unfortunately, it may be too late. The film is inspired by the short story “The Date” written by Vail’s daughter, Patience Victoria Wilcox. “Crimson Cuffs” was adapted into a screenplay with a twist. While in the original story, with a mindful nod to Wilcox and Vail’s favorite fiction writer, Flannery O’Conner, the main character at no fault of her own comes to a definite and dismal demise. Vail’s version, however, gives her character more control over her fate and leaves the ending, ultimately up to the audience. The film was shot in one night at one location in downtown Paso Robles, CA.
