With Gratitude
Early Supporters for Birth of the Acid Western
Birth of the Acid Western is a community-built film.
From archival recovery, research, and initial production—this project is sustained by the generosity of individuals who believe n the importance of preserving regional film history, outsider cinema, and the overlooked labor that shaped American independent film.
The people listed here supported the project at a formative moment. Their contributions helped recover endangered films, digitize archival materials, and carry the project into its current phase of post-production. We are deeply grateful for their trust, encouragement, and belief in this work.
As the project continues to evolve, the ways people support the film may take different forms. This page honors those who helped bring the project to the professional editing stage.
