More About "The Ballad of Maddog Quinn":
Wanted and on the run, an infamous outlaw is pursued across the steam-powered dystopia of The State by a posse of relentless lawmen. In this desolate land of dust, rust and blood, there's not many problems that a fast horse and a gun can't solve, but things aren't always what they seem on the wild wasteland frontier.

Hey everyone, Matt here from Little Dragon Pictures. Thanks so much for checking out Maddog - bit of a long road getting this one made, so we're really grateful to be able to share it with you all on DUST. We love hearing your feedback and always happy to chat, so if you have any thoughts, comments or questions about the film, fire away!
-
A mix of a Western, Mad Max & Star Wars. I like it!!!
-
This is perfect, Mad Max, Steampunk, science Fiction videography. This little film easily competes with some of the best SyFy I've ever seen. It stands shoulder to shoulder with Mad Max, Star Wars, Blade Runner etc. It's too bad that Hollywood or Disney doesn't have the ability anymore to match this story or even the common sense to beg Matt to turn it into a full length film. "Did you remember the Whiskey?" Left be breathless with laughter!!! God bless!!!
-
You need to make more stories about Maddog Quinn ..... SUPER !🤠👍👍
-
what a fantastic piece of art you made here is unbelievable... if this was a full length feature movie you'd be right up there with classics like "the good, the bad and the ugly" and many other western movies, only yours would have Westpunk style and they just be old school westerns... The jokes were well timed, and not overdone, the story great, also give a big thumbs up to the lead actor and the little kid that hunts rabbits... Damn, I could watch your style any day...
-
Brillant film. 5 Star. Outstanding attention to detail, cinematography, storyline and characters. The practical effects were awesome. I do hope you are going to continue the series. Did she make it back for the whiskey? 10 years from now does she meet up with the feral kid and go on more adventures together? So many questions to be answered.
-
Firefly meets Fallout meets V for Vendetta? An unexpected pleasure! I really enjoyed this short. Phenomenal direction, production value and solid acting, even if some of the costumes were a bit over-the-top.
-
Better than what Hollywood has put out in years.
-
This was BY FAR my favorite of all the Dust shorts. I’d pay to see a full length movie of this storyline in the theaters. Thanks for sharing.
-
I can't find the words to say how much I enjoyed this union of old Sergio Leone-style westerns with the world of Mad Max! Magnificent short film. Praise also to the soundtrack that I would love to listen to on Spotify! Now I hope to see the episode about the recovery of the whiskey bottle!
-
Excellent cinematography and action sequences. Very realistic and a great story.
-
Really enjoyed this one! Would love to see more of this story. Great job.
-
"Didyah remember the whiskey?" Brilliant line.
-
I agree with the people who loved it, so I’m just here to add to the standing ovation!
-
This was the most exciting short I’ve seen on YouTube for ages. A well crafted piece of work; great story, great costumes, great comedy when needed. I loved the Mad Max/Ned Kelly/Fistful of Dollars vibe. Congratulations to all involved.
-
Please expand on this story. This needs to be a feature film.
-
Wow, that was insanely good and I didn't want it to end. The set designs, costumes, choreography and camerawork were all top drawer. This was a perfect example of show, don't tell filmmaking. Great job!
-
One of the most entertaining, fun, imaginative and original films I have seen in a long time. And so extremely well made in all aspects of production. I am sure you put your heart into this and it is impeccable. Eager for more.
-
the best, the fact that lights shadows and colour are real, that is epic nowadays
-
I've read the comments and have nothing to add that hasn't already been said. Fucking brilliant, mates. I'm sending the link to my son. I flew 16 hours with him from Los Angeles to Melbourne just to show him Ned Kelly's armor on display at the State Library of Victoria. He will love this.
