In this special edition of Beyond the Rodeo, director and screenwriter Kate Beecroft shares the inspiration behind her film "East of Wall," a project born from a three-year journey immersing herself in the lives of South Dakota horsewomen Tabatha and Porshia Zimiga. Kate's discovery of their genuine Western lifestyle led to a powerful narrative that blends professional acting with the true essence of ranch life. The film highlights the importance of horses in Tabitha's life, not only as a career but also as a source of therapy, while Porshia recounts the challenges and triumphs of her first acting experience, showcasing her talent beyond her skills as a barrel racer. Our conversation celebrates the authenticity of "East of Wall," a docu-fiction that stands out for its genuine portrayal of the Western lifestyle, particularly through the eyes of real-life ranchers. Tabitha's expertise as a horse trainer ensured that the film's equestrian scenes resonated with realism. Porshia's joy in performing alongside her horse adds a special touch to the film, highlighting the personal connections that elevate its authenticity and charm. Together, they bring to life the trials and triumphs of ranch life, offering viewers a fresh perspective on a timeless culture. We also turn our focus to the empowerment of women within the cowboy and rodeo spheres, spotlighting their strength and resilience through storytelling. "East of Wall" breaks down traditional stereotypes by showcasing women in roles that underscore their integral contributions to this rugged lifestyle. With a press tour on the horizon and an upcoming premiere in South Dakota, the anticipation for the film's impact is palpable. Tune in to hear all about "East of Wall" and get tickets to see it in a theater near you on August 15. Listener discretion advised: This episode and the film East of Wall contains expletives and may not be suitable for all audiences.
