Dead Man's Burden is a 2012 American Western film written and directed by Jared Moshe. It stars Barlow Jacobs and Clare Bowen as two siblings that reunite over the death of their father and a potential sale of their land.
Production
When writing the script for Dead Man's Burden, Moshe wrote with the intent to cast the film with lesser known actors, as he didn't want "to bring in a big-name actor who didn't look like they belong in that period." Moshe did not use storyboards, as the film had a tight budget and couldn't afford a storyboard artist, instead watching other Western films for inspiration and working closely with cinematographer Robert Hauer.
