UNDER THE LIGHTS
Our Closing Film presents a night to remember…

💡 Sam is a teenager who just wants to feel normal for one night at prom. The only problem? He has epilepsy, and the flashing lights are a guaranteed trigger for a seizure. Written and directed by Miles Levin, who lives with epilepsy, Under the Lights is a heart-wrenching and authentic look at breaking stigma and finding connection in the most vulnerable moments.

OUTRIDING THE DEVIL
The greatest comeback in rodeo history!

🐎 Narrated by Yellowstone star Forrie J. Smith, this powerful docudrama follows Texas Rodeo Hall of Famer Angela Ganter. After a decade-long battle with Stage 4 cancer, Angela’s return to the winner’s circle is a tribute to grit, faith and the enduring Western spirit. It’s a sweeping saga that celebrates the bonds of family and the never-say-quit attitude.

Ganter’s life and pioneering ranching heritage serve as both living history and a metaphor for Western culture and rodeo. Some of the only existing footage of early legends Jackson Sundown, George Fletcher and Bertha Blancett, along with the only known film of Old West Texas giants, Charles Goodnight and Chief Quanah Parker, adds emphasis to the movie’s breadth.
