The true story of a Chickasaw storyteller is coming to select theatres across the nation this fall and everyone is invited to a red carpet event at the McSwain Theatre, 130 W. Main, Wednesday, Sept. 27, to kick off its nationwide theatrical release.

Martin Sensmeier, who landed a starring role alongside Denzel Washington in “The Magnificent Seven,” will play the lead role of Montford Johnson in “The Chickasaw Rancher.”

The search is underway for Native American actors to star in a tribally-produced feature film inspired by the life of Chickasaw cattle rancher Montford T. Johnson.
