Muscogee language-speaking individuals with horse-riding abilities are needed to appear in the western feature film “Hell on the Border” shooting soon in Oklahoma.

“Hell on the Border” tells the story of Bass Reeves, the first black U.S. Marshal. Set in 1875, when an illiterate former slave, Bass Reeves, decides to become a law man, he must prove his worth by accepting an assignment that no other marshal will: tracking and capturing and/or killing, Bob Dozier, the most dangerous outlaw in the Indian Territory. Along with him on this journey is Charlie Storm, who is working to earn a pardon instead of facing federal time in Detroit. Together these men must learn to rely on the other to survive...and not kill each other along the way.
The film is written and directed by Wes Miller and produced by Sasha Yelaun, Monty Ross and Curtis Nichouls. The film stars David Gyasi as Bass Reeves, Frank Grillo as Bob Dozier, Angus MacFadyen as Deputy Marshal Jim Bruce and Ron Perlman as Charlie Storm.
