Being a Horse Lawyer is a real job?

I asked myself the same question in the fall of 2019 while having to come up with an idea for a short film in my screenwriting class. I knew I wanted to write a work place comedy, but how could mine stand out? Like most of us I decided to answer that question by heading to google. I searched weird legal practices and there it was, equestrian law. Immediately my mind was flooded with ideas for a story and some very bad horse puns.

Finally after countless drafts and a global pandemic my words came to life, and almost a year after I got to see it on the big screen at the Austin Micro Film Festival. As difficult as those three weeks we had to shoot the film were, every day on set was a dream come true and complete strangers became lifelong friends.

“Death of a Horse Lawyer ,” at its core is a coming of age story that deals with something that every person has to come to terms with at one point or another in their life, choosing ambition or passion. This film is a comedy for everyone to enjoy and is dedicated to conflicted artists everywhere who need the motivation to take a leap of faith.
