Production: Cowboy Junkies

About: COWBOY JUNKIES is a "Frybread Neo-Western" set on the Navajo Reservation. The film follows the story of three brothers as they navigate a war between a Navajo Gangster crime syndicate and the Local PD & FBI. These Navajo Gangsters enjoy being gangsters and doing less than moral things, however these gangsters have grown up with a heavy focus on rodeo and the cowboy way of life. Western elements are sprinkled into everything they do, how they live, and how they carry themselves. On the opposite end, the FBI has teamed up with the local Navajo Nation Police to bring a stop to this reign of terror. This film is where movies like "Sicario" meet "The Dollars Trilogy."
