Synopsis:

It would forever change the future of America. What brought glory to one would disgrace the other. In death a great many brave souls bore honor to their end. In life some survived the day in shameful tribute to those betrayed on the field of battle. For General George Armstrong Custer, his valor and
actions were to forever become the center of debate between those who loathed and loved him. Centuries of conflict between the white and red man struck its crescendo upon the banks of the Little Bighorn. The overwhelming defeat of the Seventh Cavalry and the famous "Boy General" rose above history, beyond legend and into mythical proportions.

An Open Call To Some of Hollywood’s Elite

I've been told that to do this is unprofessional. That taking such an unorthodox route as to openly invite A-list actors to be a part of my script only evidences a desperation on my part. Oh, I am desperate to have this script produced. Not for the fame or fortune, but because it is such a powerful story whose time has come. My passion for this story will not allow me to disregard or dismiss it. I have devoted a large part of my time and energy over the past decade crafting a script that encompasses the tragedy, triumphs and betrayals found in the Battle of Little Bighorn. In my mind's eye I have pictured every detail. The flow of every scene. The drama captured by the camera. It has been produced and featured within my fertile brain countless times. Certain actors have what it takes to do this story justice.
