Parker Films makes movies from true American stories of heroism: the people and moments history books skipped or forgot.

Now in development: The First Las Vegas, the documented story of Doc Holliday, Big Nose Kate, and Wyatt Earp in Las Vegas, New Mexico, 1879 to 1880, and Double Down or Die, the Las Vegas gamble that saved Federal Express.

Hear the stories for yourself in the scene study: The Earps Arrive and Good Night Mike.
