Tagline: A film about one of the bloodiest and most incredible times in American history.
Elevator pitch: This is a production company responsible for making a new feature film titled The Wilderness Road, a historical adventure and Western. The film follows Samuel Mason (Revolutionary War hero turned bandit) and the Harpe Brothers (notorious killers) as they are chased by the law and vigilante citizens in the late 1700s and early 1800s, leading to a violent conclusion. Our story is part history, part horror, a Western like you have never seen before.

FAQ:
- Q: Is this the same movie as "Tales of the Natchez Trace" that is listed as being in pre-production?
  A: Hey Bradley. "The Tales of the Natchez Trace" was originally planned as a companion piece to The Wilderness Road. Now we are incorporating elements of it into The Wilderness Road for what we hope will turn into a two part film. 
- Q: What is your total budget, as I see this raise is only $100k? What ROI % have your prior investors received, and how long did they wait from investment to cash flow? Thanks - I love a good western!
  A: The minimum budget is 50k just as our minimum goal on here is 50. However, we would love to make the film for 100k. In 2017 we made Blood Country (a Western you can see on Amazon Prime) for 55k. In a year, all the investors were paid back and have been earning quarterly since then. 
- Q: HI Travis, I like everything here a lot, except the fact that you are hoping to shoot 12 films in a year. I have two worries about that: 1. It would be natural to put the most time and effort (post production) into the ones that start doing the best (and this may not be one of...
  A: Hi Alan. Thanks for sharing your concern and I totally understand where you're coming from. Here are a few thoughts on this: 1. We are currently in production on the 7th of those 12 Westerns. Over the past six months, I do not feel that the number of projects we are developing has effected the quality of each. If anything, it may have helped us, creating incredible momentum and keeping us in the "production zone" consistently. 2. I will definitely not rush THE WILDERNESS ROAD. Of all the 12 W...
- Q: Thanks Travis - will investors in “The Wilder ness Trail” be afforded participation in “The Tales of the Natchez Trace” should it follow? Would also be interested in participation in any or all of the 12 westerns in 12 months. Possible Reg. A+ ???
  A: Hi James. If "Tales" happens, it will be part of Wilderness Road, a part one and part two kind of thing where we split Wilderness Road up into two releases and yes investors would participate in both. If you're interested in being part of any of the other 12 Westerns, there are still opportunities. Feel free to email me, travismills@runningwildfilms.com ​ 
- Q: I invested $300 on June 5th. Please confirm that you have recorded this investment for me, John Schile.
  A: Yes sir!
