**2015 · 6:51 · written by Anna Coughlan & William R. Coughlan · produced by Lee Perna & Anna Coughlan · directed by William R. Coughlan**
Quentin has a problem: one of his neighbors is gradually taking over the community garden, pushing everyone else out and consolidating her claim. His friend Brent is pushing him to confront the offender, but Quentin seeks the wisdom of Tex — a genuine Old West gunslinger who just happens to find himself in the modern era.

“‘Tex: Wisdom of the Old West’ grew out of the notion of juxtaposing the familiar tropes of the western genre against the often-trivial conflicts of the modern day (not to mention an excuse to cast actor Brooks Tegler as a gunslinger). Screenwriter Anna Coughlan put forth the idea of taking the traditional ‘lone gunman’ character, plopping him down in suburbia with a couple of decidedly non-western buddies, and seeing how well we could take a western storyline and fit it into a contemporary setting. From a typically western plot — a reluctant hero heeding the call to confront a land-grabbing villain — to multiple genre homages (particularly to Sergio Leone’s classic ‘Man with No Name’ trilogy), ‘Tex’ was our chance to revisit childhood fantasies of playing cowboy.”
