The Right To Bear Arms

  • Oliver Tuthill’s newest feature length film The Right to Bear Arms starring John Savage (The Deer Hunter, Godfather III, Salvador) is now in post production. It tells the story of illegal gun dealers targeting a United States Prosecuting Attorney for assassination. Tara Walker (The Auteur, Cathedral Park, A Star for Rose) also is featured in the role of Willow, a runaway girl who is befriended by the leader (Denitra Henderson) of a gun gang located in Seattle. New comers Lionel Flynn, Kelley McIntire and Rick Walters also have featured roles. Tuthill (Bogie, Dysphoria, Quincy) plays the role of the attorney.


  • Flynn plays the son of the prosecuting attorney who is battling homicidal impulses and a serious drug problem. Much of his anger is directed at his father who accidentally killed his sister when she was 12 years of age in a gun accident.

    Tuthill, who is also scoring the film, feels this feature will resonate with viewers throughout the country. “While we were in the middle of production the Supreme Court ruled on the individual’s right to bear arms and the impact of this ruling will be felt for years to come. This is a controversial movie that will upset a lot of people because of the violence, language and sexual content, but it addresses an important issue that touches the lives of all of us.”

    The film is slated for completion by the early summer of 2009.
