Showdown in Yesteryear

Truly, an Enjoyable film that I never tire of watching!

An Exciting storyline, with Great characters, Brilliant casting & some FINE to EXCELLENT acting.

An inspired location!

Filmed at Dogwood Pass in Beaver, Ohio. A creation of love for the old west, built by Mike & Sharlene Montgomery, who also appear in the film. This is a reproduction of an old west mining town that transports one back to the 1870/1880's and was an Exceptional choice for this movie. A Must visit if you are ever in the area.

The Best part, I was blessed by getting to visit while shooting was in progress. Some of these wonderfully, talented people are actually my friends.

I Highly recommend this film!

This film was beautifully shot in an authentic looking locale, the characters were superbly cast from the sheriff to the local land baron, the bad guys, and even the townspeople - all spot on! The underlying musical score accentuated the action perfectly. Even the theme song by Tim Ruffo is top shelf! But those three elements alone can't carry a film. The true star of this fantasy western is the story and screenplay. The director and team did a masterful job of melding all these elements together into a nice tidy package! Kudos to Producer Tim O'Hearn and his vision! Can't wait to see what these guys come up with next!

I saw this movie at a hometown screening in Gouverneur, NY to be quite enjoyable. It starts out with an old timer that is down and out on his luck. He yearns for the old westerns that John Wayne was featured in. He loses his girlfriend and then his job which brings him to a field where he contemplates suicide. Out of nowhere, he finds a door that seems to lead nowhere. Once entering the door, it transports him to the old west where he eventually finds common interests and meaning with the locals. He too then finds a purpose there that eventually transforms him to become the hero. Highly recommended.

It seems that most westerns are just all the same kinda shoot them up cowboy... But showdown of yesteryear is not like that... It's unique, full of heart and love with an intriguing, storyline, a fantasy that envelops you from the very beginning all the way to the end... It was a fun ride... Jeff Grennell and Debra Lamb were wonderful together. I recommend it for the entire family. I loved it so much that I not only watched it myself, but I shared it with two other people, and encouraged many many more to watch it... You won't be disappointed if you see this film... The writing was excellent. All of the Actors did an outstanding job portraying their characters. It was so refreshing to see a western with such a different storyline... It was a wonderful fantasy... I watched it several more times since... I hope this movie gets the recognition it deserves... A true must see! Congrats to Tim O'Hearn who was the originator of the story and one of the writers... Bravo.

Caught the World Premiere for "Showdown In Yesteryear" during block 7 of Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival in August 2022. The filmmakers delivered an engaging, fun, classic Western delight! The music by Brandon Hawley was majestic, perhaps one of the most rousing and well integrated into a film that I've seen in many years! The characters well drawn, and I especially enjoyed the performances by Vernon Wells as Orson Kane, and Jeff Grennell as Daryl Dumwoody. The cinematography was absolutely gorgeous, catching the old West perfectly. This film was an expansion on a terrific short from a few years ago "The Door", and expertly grew from its interesting premise. The writing & story overall was superb, and special kudos to Gregory Lamberson and Tim O'Hearn for that. Let's not forget Aaron Bratcher's crisp direction, that also allowed scenes room to breathe. Our audience was completely captivated, and appreciated many of the nods/easter eggs too. Tip of the cowboy hat to ALL involved 👏
