Local Western Cowboys group (holsters, chaps and all) will be introducing the film.
The Last Western is about an odd leftover from the days of B-movie Westerns: Pioneertown, California. Investors in the late 1940s decided it would be fun and profitable to build a Western-themed town that also could be used for shooting the Old West on location. A number of Gene Autry movies and TV shows were filmed in Pioneertown until the mid-1950s, when the town started its slow decline. Pioneertown became a hub for the Hell’s Angels in the 1970s, then settled back into small-town desert life.

“A film that is as much about the American West as it is about the American Western movie, The Last Western is a profound idea for a documentary. Chris Deaux has gone deep into the lives and souls behind the faded facades of this lonely desert town and found some amazing stories. Buzz, one of the main characters is an incredible find; a classic film subject who is funny, tragic and memorable all at once. The Last Western is the last word on how the west was lost.” – Doug Pray

Chris Deaux has spent the past decade executive producing, directing, creating and selling a wide variety of reality based television programs to numerous broadcast, cable and syndicated outlets such as FOX, NBC, AMC, TLC, Discovery, Spike!, PAX, Oxygen, Lifetime, PBS and Sony.
