The Chaperone (2018) - Western Short Film 

Hi folks, just wanted to say a big thank you for taking the time to watch our film, as well as the kind words and feedback. It's nearly three years since we began shooting the film during our final year of university and I've come a long way since then, as both an actor and writer. In spite of its flaws, I think we did a decent job, given our financial and logistical limitations. For those interested, you can find a link in the description to Down There by the Train, another western/gangster short film I produced (my personal favourite of those we've made).

When the credits came up, it should have come away to an old woman telling her daughters that was how she met their father. She goes on, "I knew I would always be safe with him, because I knew I could always woop his ass."

Wow, what a cast of great actors. Everyone plays their part really well. Big props to the Deputy Marshal.

Well Jessica Leen (Kathleen) really stood out in this, she was perfect in every aspect, the others paled before her. 10/10 lady.

All of theses short western films you guys put into is great 👍 story. Should add a part two. To finish the story.

That was great!! Really atomspheric, nice work everyone🎬😁👍🏼

I’ve been watching a lot of shorts and this seemed really well done the acting was good!

Top notch short. Actor selection was spot on. Well done sir!

I agree great little short. Only complaint would be costumes, but that’s really splitting hairs. These low budget films are killing it for me! So many GREAT Westerns being made. Keep up the good work..

Now that was a good flick, and worth the time.

Hello ! As a French old woman, I missed the English subtitles. But how much did I enjoy the smell of the pine trees, that water so cold, the smell of the gun powder. You called it a decent job, Congratulations ! You wrote a splendid page on the western films history.

I’d never heard of a Spaghetti Western shot in Co Antrim before! That was very interesting and enjoyable. Well done.

I liked this!

Good one, very entertaining, easily one of the best I've seen.

Great story and striking shots.

Great ending scene! Well done!

Wonderful , thankyou.

Great film! Enjoyed that!

Really awesome job!

wow that was surprising very good. excellent little film

Many aren't aware of the plight of the Irish , by England & after imigration to the US; why? Because we didn't bitch & moan & blame, we worked hard and overcame it, we were tough as hell & demanded respect, not pity. We never used the past persecutions as a forever never ending source of excuses; Irish Live Matter By God. 🍀 🍻✌

Wow! And I think this stuff really happened.

To start a fire with flint and steel, you place the charcloth on top of the flint near the edge and strike downward with the steel onto the edge of the flint.This casts sparks onto the charcloth and ignites it. Place the charcloth into a tinder bundle and blow gently into the charcloth. Should ignite the tinder bundle.

She is my spirit animal

Great story. And seldom too few women are anywhere close to the woman in this short !

Nice twist

Wow. She is beautiful

That is a great short film or a good start to a great movie. Would love to see a full film. Well done👍

Its Woody from Toy Story

Lights out?

Good movie except how do you explain the contrails in the sky?

Hmmm, seem you can't make a film about the "old west" without a modern chemtrail in the sky at 8:59. On another point, our hero seems remarkably well shaven after days of travel on the lonesome prairie.

🎉🍿🎊Damn good🎭🎬🎥

And the translation option? I do not understand english.

What a bulls.....

I dig that woman

Bit of a blooper there when you got contrails from jet airplanes in the sky in the late 1800s???😂

10:11 - Nice hat....

Wait what happened to sam

You can't start a fire like that ........char cloth

Did she kill him at the end? 😕

I don't think that boy is old enough to shave.

My kinda gal.....lol

Sequel!

It is a very strong woman character. Where is the cast by the way?

Fish are animals.

Title doesnt fit, unless the girl was the chaperone, but good show. The premenitions seemed out of place and confusing with the memories.

Aw C'mon, really? Did she plug him or leave him? You can tell me. Great lil' film one critique- the clothes especially the hats, WAY too clean.

He's a bit of a tenderfoot

Pratrate

I liked the Irish Lassie but did not like the young man she was traveling with he could not do anything at all.
