No one has ever seen a film like this, made by a Kansan, and filmed by Kansans.

The short film stars George Dean (From Ashes to Immortality), Angela Nordeng (Viscious), and Andy Stowers (It Starts with Murder!). It has special appearances by Delilah Rose Pellow (Ex Somnia, From Ashes to Immortality), Paul Ford (Alien Nation), and an extra special guest appearance by Kelly Perine (Downward Hiro), T.V. host Mike Anderson (From Ashes to Immortality) of the Not So Late Show, and Shamrock FC professional MMA fighter Zak Bucia, who choreographed fight scenes in From Ashes to Immortality, and is returning to help in the production of Neosho Falls.
