LOS ANGELES — Digital Playground has premiered its western feature “Gold Diggers,” directed by Ricky Greenwood.
“Gold Diggers” stars Abigail Mac, Kimmy Granger, Vicki Chase, Adria Rae, Gal Ritchie, Seth Gamble, Ricky Johnson, Alex Jones and Scott Nails.
The feature takes place at the notorious Gold Diggers saloon and brothel, where news of a gold rush attracts prospectors and mysterious strangers alike. Ragtag bands of gunslingers, lawless men and working girls are all willing to get rich or die trying.
Maria San Gabriel (Granger) and Sade Freeman (Rae) share a common goal — to lay hands on enough gold to change their fortunes for good.
“Problem is, outlaw Charles Glanton (Nails) wants some too, and he’s willing to lie, steal, and shoot anyone who stands in his way,” a rep explained. “One of Glanton’s old enemies, General Flores (Gamble), sets a bounty on Glanton’s head that captures Maria’s attention. Maria recruits Sade, who abandons her dry goldmine — and her boyfriend (Jones) — to capture Glanton and the reward money. Along the way, saloon girls Katy (Mac) and Jenny (Ritchie), Thomas (Johnson) and Glanton’s partner in crime Kimmy (Chase) all angle for their own piece.
“We struck gold with this project,” the rep added. “We’ve been wanting to do a Western for some time, and Ricky Greenwood was definitely the right man for the job. The cast were all incredible in their roles, especially Kimmy and Adria as our leading ladies and Scott as our outlaw. What a ride!”
Greenwood explained he grew up watching Westerns, which is one of his favorite genres.
“When Digital Playground gave me the opportunity to direct one, I knew it was the perfect fit for my second collaboration with them,” the director enthused. “The cast is amazing, the story is great, and everyone at DP worked hard to give you a unique and exciting movie. I can’t wait for you all to see it.”
The 5-part feature “Gold Diggers” premieres today on Digital Playground, with an explosive finale on April 1.
