Singer/Songwriters Dale and Laura Budd from Belbutte
Saskatchewan will be featured on the Premier of SCN's new television show: '15 Minutes
of Fame'. Their film 'Last Best West: Stories of the Canadian West' was originally
produced on DVD with assistance from the Department of Canadian Heritage through
the Alberta-Saskatchewan Centennial Initiative. The film went on to win Best Amateur
Film and Best Amateur Music Video at the Canadian International Annual Film Festival,
held on September 23, 2005 in Port Stanley Ontario.
Excerps from the film to be featured on SCN will include short documentaries on Buffalo
Hunters, Cowboys and Homesteaders in the Canadian West with each documentary followed
by a music video featuring original music performed by the Budds. These videos include
'Medicine Line Blues' (filmed at the historic ferry landing at Frenchman Butte) where
you will meet a young warrior fleeing from the Canadian Militia in 1885. In 'MacKinnon
Trail' you will meet a young cowboy (Dale's great-grandfather) on an 1880's cattle
drive to the CPR railhead. 'Blackfly Quickstep' introduces a group of homesteaders
who's survival in a bug infested wilderness depends mostly on their sense of humour.
The Budds would like to thanks Milo Drtina from Birch Lake for his performance with
them in 'Blackfly Quickstep'. SCN will be airing 'Last Best West: Stories of the
Canadian West' on Wednesday October 25 at 7:30 pm and on Sunday October 29 at 12:30
