Dead Noon Press


"Dead Noon is dead on!"
-Casey Watterworth I-75 Film Series

"...an excellent flick... quick-fire direction, some f---off-wow(!) gun-fighting scenes, a sparkle of half-decent CGI (yep, CG-cotton-pickin’-I!) and a musical score that had me shaking my sly-holstered little tootsie from blood-splattering start to gun-twirling finish"
--Wayne Simmons of Revenant Magazine

"...a slobber knocker so enjoyable you’re bound to watch it twice!"
--Jonny Cage of Caged Movie Reviews

"Dead Noon's ambitions far exceed its $4,000 budget...beautifully composed and colored, enhanced by arresting and imaginative visual effects."
--Thomas Sipos of the Hollywood Investigator

"The best movie under $5000 I have ever seen!"
-Jody Branham I-75 Film Series

"Wiest takes viewers on a sweeping tour of contrasting cinematic styles and arresting visual compositions...If you see only one supernatural Western movie featuring demon gunslingers and cowboy zombies this year, see "Dead Noon.""
--Ruffin Prevost of the Billings Gazette

QUALIFICATIONS
I have worked in film and video production, specifically directing, writing, and editing, for over ten years. I have been involved in both large productions and smaller independent projects. My freelance work includes music videos, short films, as well as, wedding, sports, training and promotional videos. I have written and directed two feature films, one of which, Dead Noon, was picked up by Barnholtz Entertainment and is going to be released fall of 2008 by Lionsgate. Because of my varied background, my skills have become both technically and artistically driven.
