Savage Lands brings an American legend to life with a story you haven't heard.
How did a member of Congress from Tennessee perish in the Alamo? How did his heart change towards the native peoples he encountered? Savage Lands is the incredible story of Davy Crockett's journey to save his family, befriend the Cherokee, and ultimately realize that savagery is more than skin deep.

So why are we raising funds for a movie that's already underway?
We want Savage Lands to be created differently, and we want you to be a part! If you're looking for a story the whole family will enjoy, then support a tale of an American hero doing what was right even when it was tremendously difficult.
Savage Lands as a project isn't any different than the movie's hero. We wanted to film the project in a historically accurate setting even if Tennessee's film incentives aren't as generous as neighboring states. We also aren't waiting until inflation recedes. Frankly, we need positive, encouraging stories from American history right now.
We don't want to fight those headwinds alone. We're the little film that could. We're simply asking for your to give this epic story the legendary treatment it deserves.

We are making this film no matter what, but we don't want to do it without you. If you're passionate about excellent movies that your whole family will love, Savage Lands is the independent film project you've been looking to support.
