"I'm still going to keep training horses": 'The Riders' star Brady Jandreau on his new film and reliving his cowboy life
The word 'rider' isn't the only thing that can be can be used to describe Brady Jandreau. He trains horses, rides them, has been involved in a tragic, life-risking accident and now, is also on the brink of releasing a full-length feature film based on his true story of inspiration, courage and overcoming fear.
Titled 'The Riders', the film — directed by the remarkable filmmaker Chloe Xhao — is based on the true story of how the "once-rising star of the rodeo circuit" was "warned that his competition days are over after a tragic riding accident. Back home, Brady finds himself wondering what he has to live for when he can no longer do what gives him a sense of purpose: to ride and compete. In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady undertakes a search for a new identity and tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of America."
