“East of Wall” is an American indie drama film, written and directed by Kate Beecroft in her directorial debut, starring Tabatha Zimiga, Porshia Zimiga, Scoot McNairy, and Jennifer Ehle. It tells the story of a horse trainer who wrestles with financial issues and unresolved grief, while hosting a group of wayward teenagers on her ranch. The film premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, receiving positive reviews and winning the Audience Award in the NEXT program.
