The First Look at SIX DAYS TO DIE!

There’s a first time for everything, and this is the first time I’ve had a “first look” at one of my films become headline news in Deadline Hollywood!

So without further ado, here’s a glimpse at the post-apocalyptic world I’ve been conjuring up over the last year, featuring Colm Feore himself:

The Man in Black witnesses the destruction of a Frontier Boomtown

On top of releasing this first look image, Deadline nabbed the exclusive on the portraits for some of the key characters in the film like Colm’s Man in Black, but also The Purveyor played by Ari Millen, The Marshal played by Melissa D’Agostino, and The Gambler played by Darryl Hinds!

Here’s a look at them on twitter:

The cast of Six Guns for Hire

SIX GUNS FOR HIRE: Goes into Pre-Production

Casting and location scouting has begun on my latest Western film, “Six Guns for Hire”, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!

SIX DAYS TO DIE: Enters Production

I’m thrilled to be in production on my new post-apocalyptic western feature, SIX DAYS TO DIE. It’s got a magnetic cast of actors I’ve worked with in the past, and some folks I’ve wanted to work with for years!

I’ll be combining my love of the western genre with my experience as  in VFX and green screen to build the frontier wasteland of my wildest imagining, while also shooting a film one actor at a time to keep it safe in a pandemic. It may sound a bit nuts, but I think you’ll agree it’s got a helluva look so far!

From Six Days to Die, the Gambler plies his trade

HighballTV: My New Film Festival Streaming Site

Now, here’s something I’ve been working on for A LONG TIME. In some ways, for a year. And in other ways, for two decades.

HighballTV: a streaming service that brings the film festival experience to you! It’s a hub to watch those undiscovered gems from film festivals that you’d otherwise never be able to find available after the initial festival run.

It’s something that I’ve been dreaming of for so very long, and we’re proud to be kicking it off in style by bringing the film festival favourite “The Drawer Boy” to theatres across Canada, and to audiences anywhere, on any screen on Highball.TV!

It’s a beautiful film based on Michael Healey’s seminal play by the same name, which is one of the most produced plays in North America. And of course, you can now rent, or by The Drawer Boy on Highball, or you can subscribe to Highball and watch The Drawer Boy along with dozens of other titles from the Cannes Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, and more!

Naturally, it’s also a solid destination for all your “Directed by Matt Campagna” needs; Six Reasons Why, Roots of a Man and Tactical Girls are all there for your viewing pleasure!

So get yourself some popcorn, and hop on to Highball.TV to get that festival season feeling anytime you like!
