Son of a Gun

Great telling of an old myth. Quite a twist at the end. Wonderful authentic locations.

As in real life when a tale is told over and over the truth and the lies begin to blur. When the truth exposes a lie then more lies, new lies must be told to save face. Travis Mills tells this tale over and over revealing a little more truth each time along with the explanation for the lies previously told, until ultimately the whole truth is revealed. I was captivated throughout. The whole cast performed believable roles but Cotton Yancey deserves a special mention for excelling in his role as the Doctor. A quality indie production. There are one or two minor sound issues but they in no way detracted from a thoroughly enjoyable film.

The filmmaker Travis Mills gets better with each movie he makes. This one is his most polished to date. The cinematography is great, as well as the sound, and music. It all comes together as a rich story telling experience.

The story unfolds and builds throughout with good pace, allowing the viewer to wonder and contemplate what is right and wrong, myth and truth. With some above average acting from experienced actors and newcomers alike, this movie is worth watching.

This was the first movie I watched by Travis Mills. Thought it was a terrific story about a pregnancy during the civil war. Somewhat a spiritual kind in the sense. Loved the actors, Miles Doleac and Cotton Yancey did an excellent performance in their perspective roles. A shout out to Travis Mills to continue making good quality films as good as this one.

Travis Mills did a fantastic job! The cinematography is amazing! Travis took an old Mississippi legend and painted a captivating story on the big screen. Using local actors and filming at true to the story locations made for an awesome experience.

I highly recommend watching this film.
