Robert's feature length debut was made for just $6000 and it's a perfect example of how to get your start as a filmmaker and make something really entertaining with a small budget! We follow the titular character (Carlos Gallardo) who is mistaken for a murderer and then becomes most wanted by a gang intent on killing him. It wears its love of the western genre on its sleeve and is very well performed; Gallardo is really likeable in the central role which has a lot to do with the rewatchability of the film! It's a very basic plot and it does feel a bit stretched over a feature length duration but it's nevertheless an impressive debut that made a huge impression and enabled our main man to venture forth onto larger pastures
