The Curse of Kane

A lone cowboy’s dreams of movie stardom grow to grand proportions in a fascinating glimpse into a world ruled by big money and equally big fantasies.

Gunnar Ryan Wiik is a visionary whose passion project is to build a magnificent film empire worthy of his childhood idol, the western hero Morgan Kane. It is a dream he has pursued before — only to see his failure splashed across tabloid headlines. Now, with an abandoned studio complex in Spain in his sights and major investors on the line, he is determined not to let anything, or anyone, stand in the way of turning his vision into reality. The Curse of Kane tells an extraordinary story of an enigmatic man battling both the wolves of capitalism and his own inner demons in his refusal to let go of his dream.
