Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to join us for a theatrical screening of East of Wall, followed by an in-person conversation with writer/director Kate Beecroft, and actors Tabatha Zimiga and Porshia Zimiga.

East of Wall is an authentic portrait of female resilience in the ”New West” inspired and played by the women and girls who live it. Set in the Badlands of South Dakota, Tabatha, a young, rebellious rancher who rescues and resells horses must make hard decisions to deal with her fractured family, the financial uncertainty of losing her ranch, and unresolved grief, all while providing refuge and the skills of the horse trade to a group of wayward neighborhood teens.

The film was an official selection of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival where it won both the NEXT Innovator Award and the Audience Award for the NEXT section.

From Sony Pictures Classics, East of Wall will be released in theaters on August 15.
