The actress effortlessly balanced the character’s inquisitive nature of not only wanting to get to know, and develop a relationship with, Jack, with her determined fighting nature to protect an animal she feels is misunderstood.

In her shocking new environment, Willow not only learns that she can’t always easily get what she wants, but also the importance of family.Ĭambrie, who made her feature film acting debut in ‘Our Wild Hearts,’ easily and naturally took on the role of Willow, having approached her father with the idea to work on a family movie about horses together. With the help of local teen Ryan (Chris Massoglia), who works on Jack’s ranch, Willow sets out to not only save Bravo from captivity, but also from being stolen from Jack’s neighbor Grizz (Martin Kove), who also wants to sell the mustang.

Willow is convinced Bravo needs to be free, however, and begs her new-found father not to sell the horse to a ranch in Texas. As the two struggle to bond, Willow makes a connection with a wild mustang, Bravo, who Jack is desperate to capture and tame, in an effort to keep his ranch financially secure. Willow ultimately decides to leave her pampered life in Malibu to travel to the Sierra Nevada mountains, where she pays a surprise visit to Jack (Ricky Schroder), a rugged cowboy who has no idea he’s a father. She persuades her mother, Katie (Angela Lindvall), to finally talk about and reveal who her father is. ‘Our Wild Hearts’ follows Willow (Cambrie Schroder), a determined young teenager who’s obsessed with the idea of meeting the father she never knew. The film’s overprotective father and his teenage daughter, who just came to find out about each other, instantly bond over their shared love for horses, but are quick to discover that their different approaches to caring for the animal can also tear them apart. That’s certainly the case with the two lead characters in the new family western, ‘Our Wild Hearts,’ which is set to be released tomorrow on DVD and VOD. While a shared interest and passion can truly bond long-lost relatives, struggling to keep them safe and trying to prevent them from making mistakes at the same time can put a strain on the relationship just as quickly. Starring: Cambrie Schroder, Ricky Schroder, Angela Lindvall and Chris Massoglia
