The Cowboy

The Cowboy

a film by André Hörmann | in Co-production with Mitten Media and ZDF, in collaboration with ARTE
 

WORLD PREMIERE: August 8th Locarno Film Festival 2025 – Semaine de la Critique

The movie follows young cowboy Crowley over ten years as he comes of age in the vastness of Colorado. On his rocky path, he endures loss, separation, and shattered dreams—yet he faces life with his head held high, carrying the unshakable resolve of a cowboy who never backs down. An honest tale from the heartland of America.
 
«The film is an intimate coming-of-age portrait that follows Crowley from childhood to the moment he leaves home. Crowley surprised me. Behind the rough surface of a young cowboy, I found a boy unafraid to show pain and love. Over the years, I saw him grow—struggling, grieving, dreaming. He taught me that real cowboys can be vulnerable. But what defines them is the strength to rise again. That’s who Crowley is.» – André Hörmann, Director
