Concept:
QuickGuns is a test film we made back in 2003 to try out some muzzle flashes (removed in 2014 version) and gun play action scenes. However a bigger story is being developed out of the Gabriel Vigario (gunman) character. That story is being written right now into a feature length screenplay.

FAQ’s
1. Why is he stealing a blank CD case?
We were trying to be cool and used a clear CD thinking it would come off as a futuristic version of what are called holographic discs currently in development.
2. Why are the only sounds (besides the music) from the guns?
As said this was a test film to test out action gun play. Guns, especially fake guns come off looking more real when they are presented with sound effects and muzzles flashes.
[UPDATE 2014] The new 2014 remaster of the film has no sound effects, only music.
