CROCKETT

Two timelines. A twelve-year-old boy in 1798 becoming the legend. A thirty-year-old man in 1816 confirming, embellishing, and surpassing the legend told of his past. The making of America's first celebrity, on the way to becoming King of the Wild Frontier.

Notes from the Studio

Why this project belongs here.

CROCKETT belongs to IRONHIDE because myth-making is a form of combat. A nation decides what courage looks like by deciding which stories survive.

The series is built as frontier adventure and media history at the same time.
