To help Buck Bloomingdale understand the cultivation of cowboys as he refined the script for his turning film “Riding Hurt”, the team of Teton Ridge Entertainment took the scriptwriter to watch bulls.
“We brought him out in Texas for the American rodeo,” said Jillian Share, president of Teton Ridge Entertainment. “We put him in the enclosure of the lifts, where he was close and personal with the Bulls, then we took him to drink with all the people who had contributed to the Rodeo. We wanted him to be rooted in this world.”
The objective is to “do harm”, which takes place in the world of professional horse riding, to have the grain and the authenticity which will make it recognizable in a part of America that Hollywood traditionally ignores. Teton Ridge’s business model was addressed to “State Red State” customers. And the production company hopes to capitalize on a boom in Western entertainment, which has seen “Yellowstone“” Top notesBella Hadid Cowboy rock boots And Beyoncé and post Malone First country albums.
“We look at things really move in the direction of this part of the country, because it is a huge audience,” explains Share. “We see it in fashion; We see it in music. We want to help accelerate it in cinema and television. ”
Before she closes on the country of the country and the Western Wagon, share the production of supervised films at Eone and was a framework of Legendary Entertainment and Heopy Day. Since he joined the company in 2024, Teton Ridge has had overchantable competitors for a series of Spishhy projects. Not only has he acquired the Bloomingdale Specifications Script for seven figures, but but he land to Larry McMurtry’s “Lone Dove”. The company plans to transform the series of tentacular novels on a group of livestock shepherds into a film or a television program.
“These books are so loved – they are like” the Lord of the Rings “of the West,” explains Share. “Obtaining rights was a business card for us.”
Of course, all attempts to reach the public that Teton Ridge wants to attract has not succeeded. There have been denominational successes like “Sound of Freedom” and superproductions that have indexed too much in states like Texas or Oklahoma, like “Twisters”, which highlighted a cowboy-human carrying Glen Powell in his marketing. But other ambitious projects, such as “horizon” by Kevin Costner, expressed spectacularly.
An advantage of Teton Ridge is his deep donors, including Thomas Tull, the former legendary chief. It is also part of a wider conglomerate. His parent company, also known as Teton Ridge, has several Western sporting properties and media, including Cowboy Channel and the American Rodeo.
Sharing insists that she will not only tell stories of the old West who would have played John Wayne at the time. The films of Teton Ridge can be anything, from contemporary thrillers to Roma novels, as long as they remain rooted in a certain geographic environment.
“We want to develop the idea of what the West is,” explains Share. “People consider the Western genre as old salons and dusty and outlawed shootings with bonuses.
