I Should Have Been A Cowboy

Description

What defines a man’s legacy—the dream he chases, or the life he builds along the way?

Tony Rivera has always walked the line between two worlds. In Bakersfield, he’s the high-energy salon owner shaping futures with a pair of shears. In the desert, he’s a record-breaking gunslinger, drawing faster than most men can blink. Two talents. One man. And one voice that won’t let him go—his father’s: “You’ll never be a cowboy.”

When Tony sets his sights on national glory at The World’s Fastest Shot, the competition becomes more than a test of speed. It’s a reckoning. With every pull of the trigger, Tony isn’t just out to prove he’s the best—he’s out to prove he can be all of who he is: the hairdresser, the gunslinger, the son, the man.

Inspired by the true story of Anthony Rivera, I Should Have Been a Cowboy is a raw, heartfelt journey through identity, ambition, and redemption. Set against the high deserts of California, it’s a story that defies every label—and every expectation.

Because sometimes, a man’s got more than one truth.
