The Hired Man

The Hired Man, by Heather Meyer
Directed by Jennie Ward
About The Hired Man:
A magical realism epic set in the modern American West, “The Hired Man” follows Matty, a restless cattlewoman who takes a job on a family ranch in rural Wyoming. As she settles into the rhythms of ranch life, the stability of the family she joins collides with her life of itinerant working, hard living, and harder choices.
