"BAD DAY" found in the vaults after 25 years

Before he danced with wolves Academy Award winning director/actor Kevin Costner (“Dances With Wolves”, “Bull Durham”, “Field of Dreams”) made a never before seen western short film.  Filmed in 1986, “Bad Day” is now available for the first time.  Viewers can “pay” whatever they choose for the download to view “Bad Day”.  A portion of the proceeds are going to Gulf Coast aid organizations that will help those people directly affected by this disaster in the Gulf Coast area.

“Bad Day” is a 20-minute tribute to the early days of the one-reel, silent Westerns.  Photographed and co-written by the Queen of L.A. Punk, X singer Exene Cervenka, and directed by award-winning filmmaker and music video director, Modi Frank, this film also offers an elegant and poignant soundtrack by Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Dave Alvin along with X and The Knitters drummer, D. J. Bonebrake.
