Film Summary: In this action-packed yet meaningful short film, a family legacy is passed down to the next generation from Charlie Callahan to his son in a letter. Having witnessed his own father's bravery in protecting a mysterious family heirloom, Charlie now describes to his son their ancestors' efforts to keep the object in the family. He warns him of the Wardens of this World, who desperately try to take this family's prized possession, knowing its power will hurt their own selfish cause. Charlie recounts his great grandfather's agile yet close escape and his grandfather's shrewdness in choosing a location to hide the heirloom until Charlie's father is able to find it and pass it onto him. And now, as the Wardens have found the family once again, Charlie fulfills his role and passes the family legacy down to his son. From chases through the Wild West to sneaking through a 1920s downtown undercover, this film shows the undying bravery and dedication of the Callahan family.

10 role s
Time Period: 1923. Raymond appears on the streets of Grand Rapids in the 1920's protecting the precious treasure from the Wardens after it. He appears very sly and nonchalant. He is the most serious of all of the characters. Very quick-thinking, creative, and smart. He has no lines, however, his character is portrayed through the way he moves, "appears" to think, and cradles the precious box. He greatly understands how important it is to protect.
Time Period: 1965. Henry appears in the desert with his son trying to convey to him the importance of "the box". Henry is very protective of his son and earnest that his son understands its significance. He sacrifices himself to save his son and the box. Henry is very rugged, weathered, and muscular from his many years of physical exertion and mental strain protecting the box.
Time Period: Present Day. Alexander is the son of Charlie, to whom the letter is addressed to. He only appears at the end of the movie after receiving the note and the item. Although Alexander has only one line, "Love, Dad" it may be the most significant. His facial expressions must wordlessly convey what he is thinking and if he plans to take action. Alexander is brave, determined and ready to follow in his father's footsteps.
Time period: Western (1885). The first member/generation in the family to protect the mysterious box. William loved a good chase and was athletic (he outruns 4-5 antagonists while enjoying it). He is persevering and tough. William has one line and a shout of pain when he gets shot in the arm. He conveys the fact that he enjoys a chase through his body language, facial expressions, and ease of movement around obstacles and quickly through a field.
Time Period: Modern day. He is the oldest living protector of the box, and is starting to tire out. He writes a letter to his son, showing the history the box has been through. Darwin does no on-screen speaking. But his presence and narration through recorded audio voiceover tells the whole story.
Time Period: 1885. The antagonists of the story who are after the hope and treasure of the Callahans. Western version of the WotW are involved in a chase scene with William.
Time Period: 1923. The antagonists of the story who are after the hope and treasure of the Callahans. 1920s version of the WotW are stealthy and privileged. Mustaches are a bonus.
Time Period: 1988. Charlie now in his 20s begins his journey of protecting the box. He has the laidback, but serious nature of the Callahans. He's smart, while being cunning enough to guard the sacred box.
Time period: 1988. Leroy while standing out in the latest fashion trends, still can disappear without a trace. He shares the cunningness of the Callahans, along with his own touch of swagger.
Time Period: 1980s. College students hanging out in the local park. Extras will set the scene as 1988 by hanging out in the park as 1980s college students. Frisbee, picnics, walking by, etc.
