Long Shadows [SPOTLIGHT]

Set in the American West in the 1880s, Marcus Dollar (Blaine May) ages out of an orphanage intent on avenging the cold-blooded killings of his parents, but the love of a girl and psychological trauma lead him down a mystifying path. This story of psychology, moral complexity and compassion set against a classic Western backdrop marks the directorial debut of actor William Shockley (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) and includes Dermont Mulroney, who plays plays Dallas Garrett, a former outlaw gunslinger with the wisdom of regret, and who serves as a mentor to a young man trying to find his way in the world. Veteran actress Jacqueline Bisset and Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings) also co-star.
