The Torchlight Film Series Presents a Tallahassee Film Festival
Special Sneak Preview Wild Horse, Wild Ride, a Screen Media Films Release of an Alex Dawson & Greg Gricus Film
Wild Horse, Wild Ride tells the story of the Extreme Mustang Makeover Challenge, an annual contest that dares 100 people to each tame a totally wild mustang in order to get it adopted into a better life beyond federal corrals.
Stunning and poignant, Alex Dawson and Greg Gricus’ debut feature documentary chronicles a handful of unforgettable characters from their first uneasy meeting with their horses and over three months as they attempt to transform from scared strangers to theclosest of companions.
Eventually all will converge in Fort Worth, Texas, to compete against each other and offer the horses up for adoption at an auction in which the trainers, if they wish to keep their horses, must bid against the public.
Hailed by TheHollywood Reporter as a “crowd-pleaser with a big heart,” the film traverses across the United States to tell stories of the profound bonds that can develop between people and animals. From the rolling hills of New Hampshire to the Navajo Nation to the heart of Cowboy Country, the film captures a journey that is at times harrowing, humorous, heartwarming and heartbreaking as these wild spirits- both human and horse- embark on the ride of their lives.
From Dallas International Film Festival Preview:
“Wild Horse, Wild Ride is one of those rare films with a true heart and soul. It’s a film with warmth and compassion that will leave you feeling great inside….Whether you are a horse lover or a city slicker, this film is sure to leave you grinning from ear to ear.”
