Boots on the Red Carpet – “Outriding the Devil” Film Premiere
More Information
Hosted by Yellowstone star Mo Brings Plenty, with special acoustic performances by country star and two-time GRAMMY® nominee Radney Foster (“Texas in 1880” and Keith Urban’s “Raining On Sunday”), and GRAMMY® nominee Pauline Reese, titled the “Queen of Texas Music” by Willie Nelson, this event serves as a celebration to honor the grit, faith, unity and enduring spirit of the West epitomized by Stage 4 cancer survivor and Texas Rodeo Hall of Famer, Angela Ganter.
“Outriding the Devil is no ordinary movie. It’s the most amazing true story,” says Mo Brings Plenty.
Brings Plenty has a pivotal role in the docudrama, at the heart of which is arguably the greatest comeback in rodeo history- Angela Ganter, a world champion barrel racer, was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer, and in a decade-long fight for life she went from “death’s door to the winner’s circle” upon her remarkable return to rodeo.
“This is a film that I hope everybody gets the chance to see because it’s truly inspiring,” says Garrett Yerigan, two-time PRCA Announcer of the Year.
Outriding the Devil has already achieved a #1 ranking on IMDb. Narrated by Forrie J. Smith (Yellowstone) Outriding the Devil offers a sweeping look at rodeo’s origins and evolution from the late 1800s through today. “With many of today’s world champions, we discuss how the values of rodeo make it more than just a sport,” continues Brings Plenty.
Current All-Around World Champion, Shad “Money” Mayfield and Lily Wright, daughter of PRCA World Champion Cody Wright and sister of current rodeo icons Stetson, Ryder, Rusty and Statler Wright – both make their acting debuts in the film alongside the likes of Eric Nelsen (1883), Eddie Spears from Spielberg’s Into the West, and country music stars Ned LeDoux and Chancey Williams.
Among an ensemble line-up from the pinnacle of rodeo, the film features ProRodeo Hall of Famer Bob Tallman, and PRCA World Champions Stetson Wright, Ky Hamilton, Zeke Thurston, and Haven Meged, as well as WPRA World Champion barrel racer, Fallon Taylor.
Red carpet film premieres are usually for movie industry insiders, but this one is for everyday cowgirls, cowboys and the unsung heroes of the Western industry.
