Why Rufus Buck Gang...?
In 2005 while doing research on Black Indians of the old west I ran across
a little 3 page true story of five Black/Indians who rain terror down on the
settlers of Oklahoma territory circa 1895. These youngsters age 19 to 22 years,
killed, raped, robbed more people than...Billy the Kid and Jesse James Gang
combined. They did it all within thirteen days. Newspapers labeled their
exploits as 13 Days of Terror. Congress delayed debating state ship to
Oklahoma territory until these boys was brought to justice.
My next thought was "This Story Got to Be Told.". and that in it self is a story.
It took 3 years, 4 drafts to finish the script. From 2008 "Rufus Buck Gang",
has been optioned three times and once by foreign interest. 2 major
actors was on board at one time. Budget over $2 mil was mentioned.
Nothing never happen big funding not easy to get. But with a smaller
budget this project can be a reality. Our budget is $250,000 we only
need $65,000 to close out the budget. We have a SAG waiver, which
mean we can cast B actors for scale pay. Actors you will know by face not name.
We are confident that funds can be raised here at Indiegogo but if we are short of our goal of $65,000 Cut back on locations and special effects will be institued.
