Comments
Sheridan College’s recently retooled Advanced Television and Film post-graduate program centers around the cutting-edge technology of Virtual Production which is becoming the go-to production method on major productions due to the many advantages it offers over location shooting. In its second year, the program offers its student the opportunity to shoot their projects in the college’s purpose-build VP studio under a special agreement with both the Director’s Guild and ACTRA.
Storyline
In a corrupt western town an undertaker named Sterling receives a mysterious request to build a coffin by sundown. The order comes from Jo, the sister of the former sheriff Walker. As Walker realizes his past has returned to haunt him, Jo sets a careful plan in motion, confronting the man who destroyed her family. By sunset, justice arrives not through the law, but through vengeance.
