    Doc Holliday

    • 1992
    • Grant Guy

    Doc Holliday, inspired by an accidental visit to the Black Hills of South Dakota, the home of Mount Rushmore, is an opening valley to explore the distance between reality, legend and myth of the Wild West cowboy, the gunslinger and shootist.

    The Cowboy Tapes

    • 1993
    • Grant Guy

    When civilized America tamed the wilderness of the Old West, the wilderness had to go somewhere. It entered the psyche of America. The Cowboy Tapes dismantles the fortress of myths imprisoning the outlaws and lawmen alike. As Edmund O’Brien said, “If the facts conflict with the legend, print the legend.”

    The Butler Did It

    • 1987
    • Grant Guy

    Who is the criminal? Who is the victim? Knocking on the vault door of Sam Spade and Philip Marlow, The Butler Did It dissects and isolates the detective mystery movie. In a world of smoke, straightedged razors and flickering TV, entertaining a slumped body in an armchair, the thin line of who did it and who didn’t is erased. There is no trench coat-clad Humphrey Bogart to wrap up the case. The Who and by Who is for the imaginative speculation of the viewer to resolve.
