National Anthem

National Anthem (2024) is a drama you can watch online on iFILM — directed by Luke Gilford, a photographer who spent years documenting queer rodeo culture before making this his feature debut. Charlie Plummer plays Dylan, a 21-year-old construction worker in rural New Mexico who stumbles into a community of queer ranchers and rodeo riders and finds, for the first time, people building lives on their own terms.

Eve Lindley and Mason Alexander Park co-star. Gilford's background in documentary photography gives the film an unhurried, observational quality — this is a world he knows well, and it shows. Quiet and specific, it's the kind of character study that lands harder than it first appears. Watch National Anthem (2024) online on iFILM.
