Edward Abbey, Bruce Babbitt

This powerful film odyssey across America explores the sea change in national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our rivers.

Life of Pie

Travis Rummel, Ben Knight

Fruita, Colorado, was a sleepy farm town on Colorado’s conservative Western Slope. Then Jen Zeuner and Ann Keller arrived. The mountain biking power couple opened a pizza shop, brought an infectious enthusiasm for riding and building trails and, through their efforts, fostered a new sense of community that revolved around bikes, art, openness and delicious pie. Today, Fruita is a thriving mountain biker’s Mecca, the Hot Tomato restaurant a buzzing downtown staple and Keller and Zeuner are living proof that great things can come from chasing your passions.

Katie

Ben Knight, Travis Rummel

She swore like a sailor, sang like a canyon wren, fought with her whole heart and was never afraid to explore canyon country naked. Katie Lee was a spitfire activist, river goddess and folk-singing warrior for wild places. And when she passed away at the age of 98, she left behind a legacy as big as the Grand Canyon. This short film pays homage to a life shaped by redrock canyons, sinuous rivers, monkey-wrenching mischief and uninhibited passion.
