Calaveras Creek
The story of Calaveras Creek was inspired by characters introduced in Roaring Camp, a short film that has been screened successfully in many film festivals around the country. At the heart of the "saga" are two aging gunfighters, Ben Hale and Malcom McCoy, who, despite a conscious decision to passively pan for gold, must confront their lawless past that comes back to haunt them. Ben and Malcom's unique relationship spurs the action, humor and pathos of the film, but not without a few plot twists along the way. The story itself is told in dramatic flash backs while introducing some rather unsavory characters. What is the real secret of Calaveras Creek? Stay tuned.
