Evanston, IL, USA — Responding to requests from theaters in North America and Asia, Giant Screen Films is relaunching the classic 2005 70mm film Ride Around the World as Horses. The new title and poster are designed to appeal to a wider audience as well as encourage unique cross-promotional collaboration with equestrian clubs and businesses. The relaunch is aimed primarily at museum giant dome cinemas. McWane Science Center will be the first venue to premiere the newly-branded film this summer.
“We’ve always had a lot of faith in this film,” said Don Kempf, President and Founder of Giant Screen Films. “It’s been popular with horse-lovers and has won many awards. It was shot in gorgeous 70mm around the world – Spain, Patagonia, Morocco, Mexico, British Columbia and the Great Plains. But despite its global story, the Ride poster imagery presented it more as a niche American Heartland film and the title was ambiguous. When theaters started inquiring during the Chinese Year of the Horse last year the idea for Horses was born, and the film is now ready for new life.”
Giant Screen Films is offering favorable lease terms for Horses, including quality-assured used 70mm prints. The film is sponsored by Ford Trucks. Contact GSF representatives for more information and booking inquiries.
