East of Wall

East of Wall is a docu-fiction film about female resilience in a marginalized, neglected corner of the American West. After the death of her husband, Tabatha - a young, tattooed, rebellious horse trainer - wrestles with financial insecurity and unresolved grief, all while providing refuge for a group of wayward teenagers on her broken-down ranch in the Badlands of South Dakota. With a cast of predominantly non-professional actors playing themselves, this is a deeply authentic portrayal of the modern American West, told by the women and girls who live it. Directed by Kate Beecroft.

East of Wall received the Audience Award for the 2025 Sundance Film Festival NEXT section.
