Under that sweeping Montana sky, Where the Wind Blows (2025) reminds you that sometimes the one you’re rescuing ends up rescuing you right back.Based on Caroline Fyffe’s bestselling novel, the 2025 film stars Ashley Elaine as Jessie Strong — a widow determined to survive on her own terms — and Trevor Donovan as Chase Logan, a drifter who never expected to find a home again. Their story unfolds against breathtaking landscapes, a stirring score, and a tone that blends classic Western grit with modern emotional depth and romance.In this conversation, Ashley Elaine — who not only stars in the film but also produced it — shares how Where the Wind Blows came to life, what it meant to take on both roles, and why Jessie’s journey of loss, resilience, and trust resonates so deeply.
