Director and star of 'Cowboy' Nathan Grubbs Independently financed American genre films rarely arrive without scars. In the case of “Cowboy,” Nathan Grubbs’ directorial debut, which bowed at London’s Raindance Film Festival, the struggle to get the film made became almost inseparable from the story being told.
Produced through Rubicon Entertainment, the contemporary Southern noir Western was constructed incrementally, with Grubbs serving as director and lead actor and Joshua Ryan Dietz, Jeff Hoffman and Chris Sivertson penning the screenplay. Rather than waiting for a conventional financing package to fall into place, he and a tight group of collaborators began shooting, proving the film’s possibilities chapter by chapter.
