"Proud Flesh" was filmed in the Badlands National Park in South Dakota, 
"1880¹s Town" a replica of a historic town using original buildings from 
the era, and Baltimore, MD. According to Jenny Graf Sheppard, the film 
is a Western but changes into a totally different direction. The film 
contains violence, guns, blood and loneliness like in a "real Western", 
however it also has a mythical, ritual-like quality both in its acting 
and in its story-line. Since early beginnings, avant-garde filmmakers 
have been interested in rituals (like Maya Deren) and using film to 
"transfigure" them in time. However, it is unusual to see this stance 
applied to the Western genre and the settings of historical costumes and 
places of that time. ³I¹ve always been interested in picturing women in 
that condition (of the John Ford Western, KWE), and an older woman that 
position ... picturing older women in the traditional young, male role." 
With their debut film, the two filmmakers and musicians, Jenny Graf 
Sheppard and Chiara Giovando have composed a congenial mixture of film, 
music and reflections of the American story.
