Coyote Creek: Outlaws
Status: Pre-production
Genre: Western Drama
Screenplay by Tom White
Story Line by Tom White / Julianna Clausen / Heather Barklow
Synopsis: The Civil War affected two similar men in completely different ways. It made the captain a hard man; tired of fighting, tired of the carnage of war on both soldiers and civilians. The other man is war torn and wants to break the mindset of a soldier; shoot first ask questions later. In an effort to leave their past behind they head up a wagon train of people following their dreams and head out on the Oregon Trail. They both learn that no matter how far they ride, their past either follows them or greets them at the end of the trail. In this first movie of the Coyote Creek saga we see how a young John Taylor MacLennan’s quick temper and quicker trigger finger can’t keep his personal demons at bay. We see him establish relationships and lose close friends in the savageness of the west. The killing fields of the West did not differ much from the war, and yet he struggled with the unfamiliar battle lines and mercy of a women’s love. The birth of a town in desperate need of a vision is where he finds his place in life. Will the death of one woman and the love of another break through John Taylor’s hard heart?

Coyote Creek: The Heart of Horses
Status: In Development
Genre: Western Drama
Screenplay by Tom White
Story Line by Tom White / BettyJean Schuster / Heather Barklow
Synopsis: In the heart of the great Northwest there is a place some folks think is God’s country. In this, the third chapter of the Coyote Creek saga, we find ourselves getting pulled into a cultural battle, where Whiteman’s greed and indifference changes the west forever. The late 1800’s is a time of great struggle in the high desert of Central Oregon and within this newly settled territory, John Taylor MacLennan, his expecting wife Martha and their little girl Jess, are working together to build their dream. The vast changes of the west have impacted the Indian Nations as they are manipulated and forced onto reservations, and their herds of horses are abandoned to join wild mustangs. Just as the buffalo were massacred, the US Calvary actively lead slaughter campaigns against the mustangs. The Military attitude of, “Kill the horses and you kill the heart of the Indians” shows the callous mindset of an ever expanding country. In a rise against injustice we see a Sergeant stand his ground, a eccentric mountain man leave his mountains, and John Taylor in his reluctance to fight another battle, stand beside Martha in protecting the mustangs and defending the Indians. In their stance for justice relationships are tested, and tragically, lives are lost.
Coyote Creek: The Heart of Horses encompasses the passion and the freedom of both man and horse. Ride along and learn that, “In the Heart of every horse is the passion to be free and to ride a horse is to borrow its freedom”.

Synopsis: Set on a large cattle ranch in the late 1800’s, in the small town of Coyote Creek, the MacLennan family stands to lose it all and perhaps even each other. With the death of her mother, a young girl is raised with the abrasive love from a father who has to struggle with his own heartbreak at his wife’s passing. This story covers several years before a daughter finds her place and a father learns to let go. We watch a love that is defered but not denied and we find ourselves immersed in a true love the way it is supposed to be. In a town where guns, God , and greed are still trying to get a foothold, an outlaw tries to shoot his way to respect, a timber baron loses her son as her thirst for land and money consume her, and the preacher fights for the redemption of them all.
“Coyote Creek: Redemption” embodies the importance of family, friendship, and community during the best and worst times of our short lives. It is a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced self doubt or heartbreak. It will inspire those who have felt alone and vulnerable and unite those who have overcome even the most adverse tragedies.
