Description from IMDB

This is one of the first movies in Rhyolite that Riley and I watched as they filmed it. When we came to Rhyolite, we were told that some students from Layola College would be here to finish filming a project they had started in 1997. I think by the time they returned to finish, it was a little more than a student project. They used several of the residents of Beatty as extras while they were in the area. I have to admit, I enjoyed the cast and crew, they had lots of fun making this movie. It has been labeled as a cult flick, and I have to agree. Congratulations to the producer, I hope this one helped you get your diploma.
