I was privileged to join the 2022 Int’l Wildlife Film Festival as a Labs Fellow, a unique program that brings filmmakers together to shoot and edit a short doc over four days. Teamed up with Missoula-based Lara Tomov and Mill Valley’s Jerry van de Beek, we shared the story of wildlife passages along Highway 93 in the Flathead Reservation and the work of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai tribes to support coexistence along human and wildlife corridors.
