POLSON — “Somewhere In Montana” a heartfelt drama that delves into themes of resilience, cultural contrasts, and personal growth, is currently being shown at Showboat Stadium 6. The story follows John Alexander, a Montana cattle rancher who opens his land to a Hollywood film crew to save his livelihood, sparking a compelling clash of worlds.
John Alexander is a man whose roots run strong and deep. His presence on the land is as much a part of Montana as the mountains themselves against the wide, open sky. But for the first time in his life, John is realizing that not everything is as set in stone as he previously believed. Facing the potent loss of his land and his livelihood, John realizes that he’s going to have to make a deal that may as well be akin to selling his soul to the evil. He’s going to let Hollywood come make a movie on his land. Far removed from the mountains of Montana, Fabian is a rising start in the entertainment industry. A director always balanced on the edge of the latest trends, he’s known as a creative visionary, and he has the big personality to go with it. He is convinced that his next picture is going to be his breakthrough, and nothing is going to deter him from that vision. Not even an old crusty rancher. When John and Fabian meet, it’s less business meeting and more rodeo showdown between a rider and a bull. As each of them tries to figure out how to get what they want without compromising their own values, they have no idea that their worlds are both about to fall apart. The only question now is where the pieces are going to fall and who is going to put them back together.
The film features a stellar cast, including:
Graham McTavish (Outlander) as John Alexander
Michelle Hurd (Star Trek: Picard) as Kat
Matt Drago as Fabian Verdugo
Kaleigh Macchio as Laney Alexander
Kate Orsini as Dahlia James
Jonathan Stoddard (The Young and the Restless) as Spence
