Firstly, I’d just like to start off by saying a big thank you to One Bandit Productions and Director, Michael Butts for allowing me early access to an online screener of his debut feature length film “Potter’s Ground”, Written by Scott Crain. Potter’s Ground is a period piece Western/Crime/Thriller that centers around a team of former Confederate outlaws during the final stages of the civil war. Led by soon-to-be father, Sully (Isaiah Stratton), the group, which includes the hard-boiled, Lex (played by Crain himself) and Native-American, “Ninekiller” (Loren Anthony) are commanded to take part in a dangerous retrieval mission to find a three piece ancient treasure. The film also stars Todd Bush, Katharine Franco, Leslie Mills, James J. Fuertes, and Lexi Janicek.Potter’s Ground 2021 Movie Download.
So as luck would have it, I stumbled upon the trailer for this fresh-faced western while networking on a filmmakers group page a few months back and it immediately jumped out at me. I’d temporarily forgotten about it until I saw Michael promoting the film’s upcoming digital and hardcopy release (slated for June if my memory serves me correct) so I thought I’d reach out to try to secure a screener, and as they say – the rest is history.Potter’s Ground 2021 Movie Download.
The first thing to note about Potter’s Ground is that it’s a DIY-style independent film, not that you’d ever know it from the extremely polished end result. It’s a film in which the primary theme is about past and present and how in most cases our journey from the former almost always inevitably catches up with us somewhere in the latter – as is the case for our protagonist, Sully. Firstly, Crain’s screenplay presents the film in a really interesting fashion. Mostly linear with his timeline, but opting to use unconventional chapter titles that refer to pieces of dialogue used by the characters in that respective section instead of locations, times, or places – a unique touch right off the bat.
