BUFFALO
Historical War Drama • Limited TV Series • In Development
After their brothers are massacred, a world-weary squad of African-American soldiers are sent into the desert on a peace mission to rein in the last Comanche holdouts raiding the 1879 West and end the long American Frontier Wars once and for all. But when deadly conditions and overzealous White settlers derail the hunt, a desperate battle of wills triggers a punishing cat-and-mouse game of survival.
Inspired by true events, Buffalo is an intimate quest of endurance, brotherhood and for belonging. An awakening to the interracial paradox origins of conflict inherent in White deployment of Black soldiers against Native Americans in the industrial march across the American West. Raw, inconvenient, sincere and brutal.
Fearing the loss of his 60-million-year-old mother, a boy marooned by time and place refuses to believe he is alone.
The film is fiscally-sponsored by Film Independent and is scheduled to shoot Fall 2023 in Ecuador.
