I make films and photographs about the modern day American West because I grew up there. The Rocky Mountains and the Missouri River are like totems that gather in the wellspring of my heart and the Big Sky Country is not some picture postcard you buy for 50¢ at the Town Pump, but an ode to the past that lives inside us still and can be seen when barefoot children bring the milk cows in and the light shimmers at dusk. That's the Big Sky Country that was and still is.
