'National Anthem is a film about the search for belonging,' said Gilford in a statement. 'I'm thrilled that the film will be streaming on Hulu, making it accessible to even more viewers who might connect with its reimagined vision of the American West, and perhaps see themselves reflected in it.'
Set in a rural queer ranching community, against the real-life International Gay Rodeo Association, National Anthem stars Plummer as Dylan, a 21-year old construction worker in rural New Mexico, who joins a community of queer ranchers and rodeo performers in search of their own version of the American dream.
The film, which premiered at SXSW in 2023, also stars Eve Lindley, Mason Alexander Park, Rene Rosado and Robyn Lively. Written by David Largman Murray, Kevin Best and Gilford, it was produced by Mickey Liddell, Pete Shilaimon, Kevin Garland, Gina Marcheschi, and Jasmine Daghighian, with executive producers Beau Ward, Jacob Yakob, Michael Glassman, Troy Nankin, Gilford, Zackary Drucker and Murray.
Other Wolfe titles currently streaming on Hulu include Adam (2019), Big Eden (2000), Boy Meets Girl (2014), Elena Undone (2010), Hurricane Bianca (2016), Loving Annabelle (2006), A Perfect Ending (2012) and Sordid Lives (2000).
'I am excited to bring an amazing collection of films to Hulu this Pride season,' said Evan Schwartz, Wolfe's head of content. 'Working with LD Entertainment on National Anthem has been an honor and I am thrilled to have Hulu's support in amplifying stories about the LGBTQ+ community.'
