"The Rivals Of Amziah King" is an American neo-Western crime thriller film written and directed by Andrew Patterson ("The Vast Of Night") and produced by Black Bear Pictures and Heyday Films. It stars Angelina LookingGlass as Kateri, whose life takes a tragic turn as she loses her mother and leaves foster care.

It had its world premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival and received rave reviews for its story, music, performances, direction, and editing.
