Following the film’s premiere, the audience gave Kevin a 10-minute standing ovation, and it clearly moved the Field of Dreams star.

As Kevin continued, he complimented the “good people,” who worked on the film with him. Besides starring in the western, he is also the director and a co-writer on Horizon. “Such a good moment, not just for me, but for the actors who came with me, for people who believed in me, who continued to work,” he said. “There’s no place like here.”

Toward the end of his speech, Kevin once again showed that he was incredibly grateful for the crowd’s reaction. “I’ll never forget this,” he said. “I made this. It’s not mine anymore. It’s yours. I knew that the minute this was over and that’s what it should be. I think movies aren’t about their opening weekends. They’re about their life and about how many times you’re willing to share it.”

During the speech, the Academy Award-winning actor thanked his children for attending the premiere with him, and he once again thanked the audience for their kind reaction.

Horizon: An American Saga spans a 15 year period about American expansion into the west both before and after the Civil War. Besides Kevin, it also stars Abbey LeeSienna Miller, and Tom Payne. The move will have a wide release in theaters on June 28.
