CHEYENNE (WNE) — Jefferson White, star of the acclaimed TV series “Yellowstone,” will visit Cheyenne during the 10th annual Wyoming International Film Festival in July.

The Wyoming International Film Festival will feature a red carpet on opening night for members of the public beginning at 5:30 p.m. July 9 at the Cheyenne Civic Center. A screening of the award-winning short film “Paper Geese,” featuring White, will begin at 6:30 p.m., with a question- and-answer session to follow. An after party at Westby Edge Brewing Company will begin at 9 p.m.

White, who plays Jimmy Hurdstrom on Paramount’s hit neo-western “Yellowstone” and is the star of an upcoming spinoff “The Four Sixes,” is a champion of indie film, said Rudi Womack, director of the Wyoming International Film Festival.



“Jefferson White has quite a lot of celebrity from being on ‘Yellowstone,’ but his involvement with indie film is also in line with our mission,” Womack said, adding that “Paper Geese” won a previous award for best short film at the annual Cheyenne event.

“We’re huge champions of independent cinema,” Womack said. “In bringing these movies, and Jefferson White to Cheyenne, we’re bringing to Wyoming opportunities to see films and speak directly to filmmakers that people would not otherwise have the chance to do.”

The film festival will also showcase a piece produced by Jamie Lee Curtis, another film narrated by Lily Gladstone, and content by 12 Emmy award winners.
