Back in August, Kate Beecroft celebrated her feature-length directorial debut with the release of East of Wall. Distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, the heartfelt drama was an immediate hit with the critics thanks to not only Beecroft’s screenplay and direction, but the incredibly moving performances from an ensemble cast that includes Scoot McNairy (Speak No Evil) and Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark Thirty), with real-life mother-daughter duo, Tabatha and Porshia Zimiga, playing versions of themselves. Today, Collider is thrilled to break the news that the critically acclaimed feature is now officially on digital. Additionally, we’re excited to unveil an uninterrupted six-and-a-half minutes of the movie, to get potential audiences fully hooked on the must-see film. A group of young horseriders are on the move in our exclusive new look at East of Wall, as they head off for a demonstration. With her papers in hand, the group’s adult-in-charge, Tabatha (Zimiga), preps for a busy day ahead just in time to see one of her own, Brynn (Brynn Darling), pull up in an unfamiliar car. After the young woman reveals that her mother’s been MIA for a few days, Tabatha welcomes her back into her care and encourages her to join the others for the day. Meanwhile, the horse showing is just getting started, as riders trot their steeds around a small enclosed area, enticing the buyers that watch from the bleachers. When the time comes for Tabatha’s group to show off their horses, they hit the audience with something completely different, gaining plenty of raised eyebrows while they’re at it. Part scripted drama, part documentary, East of Wall follows the story of a young rebellious rancher named Tabatha (Zimiga), whose world is turned upside down after the unexpected passing of her partner. With an unconventional way of doing things and numerous bills piling up, Tabatha turns to the help of the young wayward souls that she’s taken in to help her sell her trained horses to those throughout the Badlands of South Dakota.
