Dead for a Dollar
Out of Competition
Synopsis
1897. Dead for a Dollar follows veteran bounty hunter Max Borlund deep into Mexico where he encounters professional gambler and outlaw Joe Cribbens—a sworn enemy who Max sent to prison years before. Borlund is on a mission to find and return Rachel Kidd, the hostage wife of a wealthy Santa Fe businessman. Discovering that Mrs. Kidd has actually fled from an abusive marriage, Max is ultimately faced with a choice: finish the dishonest job he’s been hired to accomplish or stand aside while ruthless mercenary outlaws and his long-time rival close in... Max and his partner Alonzo Poe have nothing to gain if they resist— nothing save honour.
Director’s Statement
Dead For A Dollar is a small and simple tale, but one that tries to valorise many of the tropes of the traditional western: primitive nobility, ordeals of combat that define honour, nostalgia for the past, and the old hard religion of courage. But simultaneously, it’s an attempt to deal with the modern issues of race and gender that we still struggle with today. It was my good fortune to write and direct the film. Getting it financed was a miracle. Working with the cast, a beatitude.
