Beautiful Content. Overdone delivery.

Although this short film is beautifully shot and with a wonderful story, I felt it didn't really go anywhere. With overdone artsy shots of stuff on fire and slow motion sequences, it seemed to fall short of any true content that Robin deserved.No time was really spent on his childhood, it gave a lacklustre "it was hard" summary. Then he came to America and got a job working on a commercial, which eventually lead to his breakthrough into Hollywood. No more information other than that. No idea if he worked on a ranch, got his own, how he acquired his horses, how he met his wife. Queue shots of him training horses, some BTS shots of him on movie sets and maybe some random stuff on fire. Of course, this film is only 22 minutes long and that's a lot of questions for such a short film. We did get to have a taste of some anecdotes but they felt rushed and I was still asking myself how long these artsy sequences were going to go on for.Robin obviously has a wonderful story to tell. The crew and people behind the film are quite talented, but it would have been suited to be longer. Something, I'm sure, is beyond the control of some of the people involved in the making of this film.If you would like to compare what a good cowboy documentary is, I recommend "Buck". Although it's a full length feature, it paints the true hardship, the difficulty of training and home life and what the true story of his involvement in Hollywood was.All in all, mesmerizing, but a shortfall and injustice to telling the subject's story. Unless I'm wrong and it's just meant to be a brief showcase of his work with some film school shots of poster paper and wagons on fire.

Beautiful cinematography and tribute to a man who trains movie horses

If you want to feel the spirit of the west and be inspired by a life in only 23 minutes, give this short film a watch. Robin is living his dream training these animals for so many others to enjoy for the film industry. He cares for his horses as his own family. The gorgeous cinematography in this film alone is worth viewing.
