Coverfly Recommendations

"The writers mesh two genres I don't much care for - Western and "random psychopaths try to kill people barricaded in a single location" - and this script was great. A leading lady with a disability who uses her skills and smarts to help several other likeable and believable characters defeat said psychopaths."

JOSH. Picture him, our hirsute hero. Roguish, affable. Very rootable-for! And though his weight may yo-yo, his passion to craft what he loves DOES NOT. Texas-raised; UT-schooled. Infantryman & Iraq Combat Vet. He's made stuff. And won a Streamy. No one knows what that is, but he's got one, and it is HEAVY. Love him, won't you?
