The Author:Rick Hautala
Colt .24 is a short story originally penned by the late Maine horror novelist Rick Hautala.
The story can be found in the anthology entitled Bedbugs.
(Cemetery Dance Productions, 2006)
The Author:Rick Hautala
Rick Hautala sadly passed away unexpectedly on March 21, 2013. He left behind a wealth of
novels and short stories. His skill with the written word was unrivaled in the field of
horror and thriller.
The Author:Rick Hautala
The director of this film adaptation of Colt .24 grew up alongside one of Rick's three sons. David C. Miller spent time in his late teenage years and early twenties getting to know Rick
well as they would sit on the back porch, smoke cigars and talk at length about all the
"silly foibles of life".
The Author:Rick Hautala
Rick helped out as an associate producer on an early film produced by David C. Miller entitled "A Very Careful Man" which was
endorsed by Ray Bradbury as well as being based by Bradbury's short story,
"A Careful Man Dies".
The Author:Rick Hautala
Rick and David talked often of turning one of Rick's stories into a film and Colt .24 was
always on the top of the list. Unfortunately Rick can never see the film adaptation of his work but David is committed to produce the
film in Rick's honor and will create the greatest adaptation he can.

What We Need
We have broken down the essential elements of this movie and have found that it is a
perfect vehicle for a low-budget film that can still show high production value.
What We Need
The film was picked as a candidate for adaptation based on the promise that it could
be filmed with a small cast with only a few locations needed.
What We Need
We are asking for 1,000 dollars. Every dime will be spent on the production itself and on
film festival costs.
Where Your Money Goes
Food: Every cast/crew needs a decent meal and
water on a film set. This is priority 1 for the production.
Where Your Money Goes
Costumes: The costumes are specific and necessary to
define particular jobs in the film. For instance, we need police uniforms with badges etc.
Where Your Money Goes
Props: There are not a lot of props needed, but the few we need (like the titular Colt .24 gun) will need to
be purchased or created.
Where Your Money Goes
Special Effects: David is a firm believer on PRACTICAL special
effects over DIGITAL effects when ever humanly possible. Colt .24 calls for some
blood splatter and gunshots as well as some secret plot-related F/X.
The Impact
Amazing actors and the most professional crew live all through Maine.
They are hungry to work and to show the world what they can accomplish.
The Impact
Working together we can adapt an amazing piece of horror fiction into an outstanding film.
This film will be a testament to the name of Rick Hautala and to the abundance of movie-
making skill found throughout Maine.
