Director Luke Gilford’s National Anthem stars Charlie Plummer as Dylan, a soft-spoken 21-year-old construction worker in rural New Mexico who serves as a father figure to his little brother, while working odd jobs to help the family get by. After he finds an opportunity to work at a ranch, he is welcomed by a vibrant community of rodeo performers who openly explore their identities and sexuality. He is especially drawn to Sky (Eve Lindley), a force of nature who Dylan connects with deeply, and who helps him begin to forge his own identity.  A lyrical and beautifully-shot film that explores themes of identity, community, and the search for the American dream, National Anthem challenges traditional American narratives through a deft exploration of the intersections of rural life and queer culture.
