Poster Art by RENATO CASARO
Renato Casaro is a legendary movie poster artist. He painted the movie poster classics: For a Few Dollars More, Army of Darkness, Conan the Barbarian, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Dune (1984), Red Sonja, Octopussy, and thousands more - working with industry legends like Sergio Leone, Dino De Laurentiis, Francis Ford Coppola, Bernardo Bertolucci, Luc Besson, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and Quentin Tarantino.
“Many films have been made about the rural American South, often by people who have no understanding or sense of its history, culture, and traditions. The result is often phony pastiche. Not so with GUNFIGHTER PARADISE. Writer/Director Jethro Waters understands it, and portrays it through an unflinching, critical, yet also sympathetic gaze. This is a film as beautiful as it is disturbing. As horrific as it is comedic. It resonates with a genuine understanding of human nature, particularly your violent and religious drives and impulses.”
