Where Eagles Fly is an adventure like no other, illuminating rarely-experienced visions of Montana’s most spectacular natural treasures. This is an unparalleled exploration of these remarkable landscapes from a vantage point that inspires a newfound appreciation for the renowned Big Sky beauty of the Treasure State.

This is an exhilarating blue-chip, family-friendly production crafted in the style of highly-popular 1st person-nature-adventure-documentary programming from the 1960s, a nostalgic return to captivating, stimulating storytelling that everyone can enjoy. The use of custom designed aerial camera systems and innovative cinematic techniques offers a breathtaking perspective of the many iconic natural wonders of Montana very few will ever witness firsthand.

Montana Wildlands is a 2 film series that showcases the entire state of Montana, from the rugged mountains and waterways of the West to the sublime prairies and vast plains of the East: Where Eagles Fly ~ The Wilderness of Montana, and Where Eagles Fly ~ Glacier National Park. Both films support distribution through multiple content formats: 1.) Anamorphic Giant Screen 1:43 Aspect Ratio (IMAX Style), 2.) Standard 16:9 Aspect Ratio for streaming services, 3.) Virtual Reality based experiences, and 4.) Dome Projections, (Las Vegas Sphere, festivals, planetariums). The following maps illustrate the areas of interest. Mouse over to pause.

To showcase an example or mood board of my production style I present 2 different documentary styles I am experimenting with. The first is a short form version wherein the main narrator presents the majority of the narrative and I only speak in featured scenes. The second is a longer version where I am the only narrator. Each version shows a different approach to presenting the concept. The two films I am proposing will be similar in look and feel but will be formatted differently.

Accompanying Coffee Table Books

Each of the two films in the series will have a full size coffee table book that accompanies it and provides a wonderful companion piece that extends the film into the physical world through collectables. Additionally there will be numerous collectors prints for scenes featured in each film. These will be made available as both poster are and fine art prints. The following image is a link to my online demonstration of the book I re-release every year and sell on this website. This showcases the book format of each book that will accompany both of the films in the series. To review this book go here or click the image below.
