Michelle Muldoon’s Last Stand to Nowhere takes the story of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and re-tells it with women. The story is recognizable and accessible, even if it’s Wylona Earp instead of Wyatt, and Ida Clanton instead of Ike – and Michelle has been called brave for making a women-driven western. She’s won awards and critical acclaim and screened at the legendary Almeria Western Film Festival in Spain, which takes place in a replica Wild West town. She’s also received pushback from people who want the genre to remain as it’s been for decades, with women relegated to the roles of long-suffering wife at the farmhouse or big-hearted hooker at the saloon. The cast is packed with Vancouver A-Listers: Chelah Horsdal (Man in the High Castle), Johannah Newmarch (When Calls the Heart), Luvia Petersen (Continuum), Jenn MacLean Angus, Maja Aro, Sadie Silcock, Catherine Lonsdale, and Julie Lynn Mortensen (Van Helsing). Michelle and Julie Lynn join Sabrina Furminger for a riveting conversation about women gunslingers, and what the success of a film like Last Stand to Nowhere represents for the genre.
