An American Legend
W. C. Jameson is a man who has led expeditions across the American West and into Mexico in search of lost mines and buried treasures. Filmmakers Mack Fisher and Taylor McIntosh fulfill a childhood fascination by meeting this real, live adventurer in the flesh. Here, the directorial duo explain Jameson’s hunt for hidden treasure, and open up about their playful daydreams of meeting a larger-than-life figure in W. C. Jameson:
As children, we often heard tall tales of explorers, hunters, and adventurers.
Their images existed only in our imagination. Sometimes we dreamt of them,
pretending to join these pioneers on expeditions. The idea of their wildness
faded as we grew older, the possibility of these larger than life characters
existing vanished. Years passed, and out of nowhere we heard about a man
who had spent his entire life searching, exploring, and hunting for treasure.
A man named W C. Jameson.
For us, Jameson personifies the end of a dying breed. He is a man who has
lived his life above the law and beyond the boundaries of society like so many
brave pioneers before him. Our film, “W. C. Jameson,” is a glimpse into the
mind of an American legend as he fulfills his last great quest and reflects on
his life as an outlaw.
