Hello, Reddit! I just directed Nicolas Cage's first Western, THE OLD WAY! During COVID, Nick and I rode into the wilderness outside of Livingston, Montana to tell a beautiful story about a retired gunslinger who sets off on a dangerous journey with his 12yo daughter (Ryan Kiera Armstrong). As a father to three daughters, it's a story with great personal meaning that I just had to tell. We cover a lot of ground - from gunslinging to mental health.

AMA about filmmaking, directing, working with actors - I've been fortunate to work with Nick, Bruce Willis, Cole Hauser, Ron Livingston, Michael Sheen and many more!

Also here is THE OLD WAY producer Micah Haley, ask him about film finance, production and how an independent film can still get a theatrical release!

Or we can just focus on RAMPART. Up to you!

Here from 10:30am PT till I drop! Live from Egypt!
