about the film
I dream of the west...Ready to ride west to escape his reputation, a gunfighter makes a fateful stop at a saloon. Meeting a young man who wants to follow in his footsteps, the gunfighter's choices are tested.
Sundown, the award-winning short film by Joshua Sikora, was a landmark achievement for New Renaissance Pictures and production company Monsters of Efficiency. Shot in a single day with a budget of only $250, Sundown showcases our ability to create high-quality art efficiently. The Sundown crew combined tried and true production techniques with innovative new workflows and equipment to facilitate a fast and low-budget production.
The short premiered at the Biola Film Festival on May 2, 2003 and won 9 of the 10 awards it was nominated for. Sundown has gone on to screen at other film festivals and remains as a strong example of our goals and achievements. Now, for the first time, you have the opportunity to see this film exclusively here, on our website.
