The town of Frisco was born and quickly became one of the most economically productive and notoriously violent towns in the wild West. 'Boomtown' blends serendipitously found audio interviews of the town sheriff and other remaining inhabitants, recorded just before their deaths, with images of the decaying ghost town in 2011. We get to know Sy Perkins, who 'drifted in with a circus,' or we hear of Sheriff Pearson, whose 'quick-triggered fingers' laid down the law 'with the simple philosophy that dead men give no trouble.' Letting the community speak for itself, this film rediscovers the nigh forgotten characters, stories, rumors and legends of Frisco, Utah. Written by Anonymous See less
