The film was written and directed by John Mossman. ‘Good Guy with a Gun’ was produced by Kevin Cooper and DeAnna Cooper.

‘Good Guy with a Gun’ follows a boy and his mother’s arrival in a small town. After the violent death of his father, teenager Will (Nolan) and his mother Tessa (Bedwell) move to a small town. Angry and insecure, Will finds solace in new friendships.
However, his deepening journey into local gun culture further fractures his relationship with his mother and complicates his grief. Realizing the dangerous direction in which he’s headed, he desperately tries to reverse course, taking him down a path of unanticipated consequences.
Challenging the concept of what makes a person good or bad, the story explores the complex gray area lacking in the current American dialogue surrounding not just guns but many aspects of life deserving of a more nuanced discussion. In the end, the fractured family succeeds at repairing itself, bearing greater wisdom moving forward but not without a cost.
“Families have always had their problems. Teenagers will rebel. Parents will split, loved ones will die. But as our fractured American family struggles, it finds itself heading down a path it may not recover from,” Mossman said. “With ‘Good Guy with a Gun,’ I set out to explore the danger, and at times the appeal, of going down this violent path. I’m glad we’re able to illustrate the extraordinary difficulties in turning back, and ultimately the enduring power of family to see us through dark times.”
