LAND WITH NO RIDER | FEATURE 90 MIN. | DIR. TAMAR LANDO | PRODUCER HUNTER ROBERT BAKER

The last cowboys of New Mexico eke out a fragile survival in a world of isolation, memories and rugged beauty as an epic drought devastates the American West.

Their herds diminished by an epic drought affecting large parts of the American West, these veteran stewards of the land live in a shrinking world of isolation, vulnerability, and memories. A poetic story of intimacy with the land, LAND WITH NO RIDER captures a wisdom rapidly disappearing from the American landscape.

WORLD PREMIERE: True / False Film Festival 2025

“Tamar Lando’s earthy feature debut ‘Land With No Rider’ is wholly grappling not with a mythological conclusion but a true endangerment of a way of life… Hard times and bitter losses do arrive in ‘Land With No Rider,’ and Lando’s humanistic lens keeps these obstacles grounded within the cracks of these men’s hands and in the light of their eyes for a stirring ode to the last few acres of the West.”
