Trailer for Infamous Western 'Rust' - The Film Where the DP Was Killed

"Some things in this life you can't get back..." Falling Forward Films & Ascending Media Group revealed the first trailer for the western action thriller Rust, directed by Joel Souza.

After the incident, they decided to come together and finish filming anyway, and now it's ready to be released. In Rust, a boy left to fend for himself and his younger brother following their parents' deaths in 1880s Kansas, ends up on the run with his long-estranged grandfather after he is sentenced to hang for the accidental killing of a local rancher.
