Les Frer Smith adapted the graphic novel Son Of The Gun by legendary cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky for Fox Searchlight, as well as The Better Angel, by Roy Morris, Jr., an account of Walt Whitman’s work as a wound-dresser for Union soldiers during the Civil War. They are currently writing an original true-life, Jazz-Age Western based on the rise and fall of the “Sheridan County Reds,” — the only all-Communist county government ever elected in the U.S— twice— out in the northeastern corner of Montana, in the mid-1920’s.

The Smith Brothers have previously written scripts for HBO, Warner Bros, Disney, Sony, and FX, and have worked with Lars Von Trier, Terrance Malick and David O. Russell.
