Ricky Schroder (RS): Well, it was my daughter Cambrie’s first film, and I wanted the entire family to have a great experience. Why did you decide to pen a screenplay together, and how did the process come about? ShockYa (SY): You co-wrote the script for your new family western film, ‘Our Wild Hearts,’ with your wife, Andrea. Among other things, Schroder discussed how his daughter and wife approached him with the idea to make a family film together about the father-daughter relationship and the importance of horses in the American west how one of the unexpected surprises of shooting the western was that his family got to know each other in a deeper, more meaningful way and how one of the most important lessons he learned while directing and producing the movie was time management, particularly while working with the horses, who were an important aspect of the story. The writer-director-producer-actor generously took the time to talk about filming ‘Our Wild Hearts’ recently over the phone from Los Angeles. 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. 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 also chronicles the struggles between a newfound father and daughter in its story, as it focuses on the obstacles they must overcome to truly learn about, and connect with, each other. Learning how to bond with family, even when you have preconceived notions of who they really are, is a lesson embedded in both the story and filming of the family western drama ‘Our Wild Hearts.’ The filming of the movie was a family affair, as it was directed and produced by Ricky Schroder, who also starred in the movie with his children Cambrie, Holden and Luke and co-wrote the script with his wife, Andrea.
