I was the artistic director in the period when the lot was listed in the top ten theme parks in the US; 1973-1978. We studied the history of the time period 1880's. We studied film history of the movies made on the lot. We had great attention to detail to make the lot authentic to both. We had a crew of 3 people and a very small budget. We made everything from raw materials. Bob Shelton had the vision. The crews had the talent. We were synchronized. I was trained by Ken Cerney and Ray Padilla; some of the best in the business and local guys too. I am still in business and the same core values apply and always will. It's about research, people, training, coordination, delivery and evaluation of success and mistakes. Come on. If you build it people will come. Give the audience what the want. Movies, westerns and movie history. by LA Heim
