Good news for our friend Sarah Koenigsberg and her film about beavers and climate change.
This is a dream come true. The Beaver Believers has been selected as a finalist in the 2018 Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival!
I’ve watched the touring version of Banff most every year since college, and held it as a goal for nearly 15 years. Two years ago, as I watched the tour I felt so frustrated with myself that I’d been working in film for so long yet still hadn’t produced an independent piece worthy of submitting. Last year I didn’t even go, as I was up to my neck in editing. When I got the news a couple weeks ago I burst into tears. So many thank you’s are in order, to everyone who’s put up with my “work-too-much” crazy self, my stressed out self, my stubborn won’t-give-up self, and all my ups and downs. Thank you friends! So much big love!
That’s just wonderful news! We are so excited for you and for your film and all the folks that get to see it, This has been a crazy successful year for beavers and I’m thrilled Worth A Dam and our little beaver festival could be a part of your amazing film. Thanks also to all the knights in shining armor that helped this film get made by supporting production costs along the way!
Another delight came from the recent beaver event held by Wyoming Untrapped, who used a knockout technique to help children learn how beavers build dams. Click on any photo to see it larger,
