The Divide, the feature film directing debut of Perry King, written by Jana Brown, has been nominated in several categories by The 2019 Cowboys & Indians Movie Awards.

The awards were created last year "to celebrate and encourage the current renaissance of westerns — and to honor films, filmmakers, and film stars of special interest to Cowboys & Indians readers.

First, the magazine has "taken a cue from the Oscars and Golden Globes and singled out some singular achievements with special commendations."

Perry King has been singled out for his outstanding work as a Debut Filmmaker. From Joe Leydon: "At the ripe young age of 70, actor Perry King made his debut as a cinematic multitasker with The Divide — his first effort as a feature film director — in which he stars to perfection as Sam Kincaid, a Northern California rancher who, during the drought of 1976, struggles to remember what is important — and transcend what he cannot forget — as he is gradually diminished by Alzheimer’s disease. Working on both sides of the camera, King brings out the best in a supporting cast that includes Bryan Kaplan as Luke Higgins, Kincaid’s hired hand, a man yearning to transcend his troubled past; Sara Arrington as Sarah, Kincaid’s estranged daughter, who’s reluctant to admit her feelings toward Sam or Luke; Luke Colombero as C.J., Sarah’s son, who desperately needs a grandfather and a father figure; and Levi Kreis as Tom Cutler, a deceptively charismatic fellow with a score to settle with Sam."

The Divide also has been nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor (Perry King), Best Actress (Sara Arrington), and Best Supporting Actor (Bryan Kaplan).
