Yellow Sky
“It was as if the YELLOW SKY had sought them out... where fate had forgotten them and life had left them behind!”
Western
In 1867, a gang robs a bank and flees into the desert. Out of water, the outlaws encounter a ghost town called Yellow Sky and its only residents, a hostile young woman and her grandfather.
VIBE
A sun-baked, existential Western where desperate outlaws confront their own mortality and the ghosts of their past in a desolate, forgotten town. It's a slow burn towards a reckoning under a relentless desert sky.
