2019 FILM SELECTION
Opening night film
EPIC YELLOWSTONE
Dir Thomas Winston | 60 min

It’s among the last of its kind: a river, still wild. The mighty Yellowstone flows from the world’s first national park into the life of the American West, moving as few rivers do.
Sponsored by Stapleton Gallery, The Smithsonian Channel,
and Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Grizzly Creek Films
