WWE Hall of Famer Bret “Hitman” Hart will be starring in a crowd-funded film called: The Outlaw Murders by Indiegogo on April 2nd.
Here is the synopsis for the film:
Every man has a past. For some it can provide a source of inspiration, for others, it would soon be forgotten. In the case of Inspector Carlisle (Bret Hart) in The Outlaw Murders, the story lands somewhere in between. Introduced to the outlaw biker life by his father, Carlisle seemed destined for a life of criminality and lawlessness. Things took a dramatic turn when his father succumbed to a drug overdose during a period of incarceration. Determined to avoid a similar unwelcome fate, Carlisle rejected the criminal biker world and joined the local police force. Now, after several decades of dedicated public service, he must come face to face with his past when he is assigned to investigate a mass murder involving associates from his earlier biker days. Forced to sort through a puzzle of blood, bodies, bikes, and bullets, Inspector Carlisle’s investigative skills and experience will be put to a test that will define his life in law enforcement.

Filmmakers Ian, Stephen, and Eric Sewell grew up on a rural property in Langley, British Columbia Canada. Their enthusiasm for filmmaking began in their early teens when they first got their hands on a camcorder. Starting off with shorts that spoofed popular genres involving ninjas and police, the brothers eventually moved on to more ambitious feature-length projects. This eventually led into the professional world with the commercial release of their previous films 100 Miles from Hell and Muskie Point.
