Real-life nomads Linda May, Swankie, and Bob Wells also star in the film, joining Fern on her journey through the American West.
The film is Zhao’s third feature after the acclaimed “Songs My Brothers Taught Me” and “The Rider”. She is also the director of Marvel’s “Eternals”, set for release next year.
