🤠 7 SPURS: BEFORE THE PREMIERE
A Live Western Scene Experience
What if you could step inside a movie before it reaches the screen?
Before the cameras roll, before the final cut, and before 7 Spurs makes its theatrical debut, we’re inviting people into the creative process.
7 Spurs: Before the Premiere is our traveling live film experience - bringing selected scenes from our independent Western feature to communities around the country and, eventually, around the world.
It’s part script read.
Part live performance.
Part behind - the - scenes experience.
Part creative hangout.
And most importantly, it’s a chance to help us build the film.
🎬 COME INSIDE THE STORY
At each experience, you may:
- Read selected scenes from the 7 Spurs screenplay
- Hear original live music from the film soundtrack
- Meet members of the cast, crew and creative team
- Share your thoughts and feedback with the filmmakers
- Get a behind - the - scenes look at how an independent feature is made
- Connect with actors, filmmakers, musicians, artists and fellow supporters
- Enjoy food, snacks and conversation
- Take home exclusive 7 Spurs gifts and surprises
- And, of course, have some fun with us
This is not a traditional closed - door industry table read.
We’re opening the doors earlier.
We want people to experience the story, hear the characters, react to the scenes, discover the music and give us honest feedback while there is still time to make the film better.
🌵 A WESTERN YOU CAN STEP INTO
7 Spurs is a soulful, cinematic Western set in the late 1800s/early 1900s.
Seven strangers.
Seven treasures.
Seven very different reasons for chasing them.
In a shifting American West, seven strangers bound by fate must confront love, loss, and loyalty as they pursue seven coveted treasures — discovering that who you become matters more than what you gain.
The film explores love, greed, purpose, identity, redemption, faith and transformation through a story built for the big screen.
And because it’s a Western…
🤠 SADDLE UP
Western attire is encouraged.
Boots. Hats. Denim. Western shirts. Belts. Vintage pieces.
