ABOUT:

 

Freedom is more than a film it’s a true story brought to life. Inspired by one woman’s bold leap into a rugged new existence on a 3,400-acre Oklahoma ranch, Freedom explores love and loss, grit and grace, heartbreak and redemption, and the courage it takes to begin again.

What began as a book has evolved into a full-scale feature film and documentary project, deeply rooted in authenticity, Western values, and the enduring spirit of independence.

​

Over the past year, Freedom has gained momentum across film festivals, industry circles, and the Western community. Our proof-of-concept trailer, filmed on location in Oklahoma, has been completed and is now available for submission to distributors, producers, and investors who share our vision for a female-driven modern Western with heart and purpose.

​

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support, enthusiasm, and belief help bring Freedom to life, and keep this story moving forward.

A chance meeting in Las Vegas pulls a newly divorced businesswoman into the rugged world of an Oklahoma cowboy, where love, risk, and the modern West collide.​
 

​

SYNOPSIS:

​

Freedom follows Cheyenne, a successful businesswoman whose carefully built world collapses after a painful divorce. In search of healing and direction, she escapes to Las Vegas, where a chance encounter introduces her to Rowdy, a charismatic but struggling Oklahoma rancher clinging to a broken-down ranch and a dream he refuses to abandon.

​

Drawn into Rowdy’s world, Cheyenne leaves behind city life and steps into the raw, demanding landscape of the modern West. She invests in the ranch, runs the guest lodge, learns the rhythms of the land, and slowly discovers a life she never imagined, one grounded in grit, purpose, and belonging.

​

But the West tests everyone.

​

As love deepens, reality intrudes. Dreams strain under financial pressure, personal demons, and the unforgiving nature of ranch life. Cheyenne must decide how much she’s willing to risk, of her heart, her independence, and her future, for the man, the land, and the life she’s come to love.

Freedom is a story of second chances, unexpected love, and the quiet strength found when you choose a harder, truer path.
