In The Heart Of The Rockies Film

Posted on 5/23/2019 by Fly Fishers International

As we’ve seen repeatedly over the past several years, human-caused climate change is the single largest threat to our outdoor heritage. Whether it manifests itself as sea level rise, storm surge, flooding and unprecedented rainfall, or through record high temperatures, flash droughts, extreme wildfires and choking smoke, climate change is making headlines and having a major impact on our lives. To shine a light on this threat, Conservation Hawks is following up the short climate & angling films Cold Waters (2015), Chrome (2016) and Convergence (2017) with an ambitious new project, In The Heart Of The Rockies. In The Heart Of The Rockies focuses on the northern Rocky Mountains, from Yellowstone north towards Glacier National Park. This incredible landscape is known far & wide for its mountains, rivers, wildlife and amazing natural beauty. The film showcases this spectacular area through the eyes of sportsmen both young and old. As we meet these iconic anglers & hunters, we’ll learn about their love for this incredible landscape and their concerns over our changing climate. In The Heart Of The Rockies raises a number of important climate-related issues, including how drought, record high temperatures, extreme wildfires and smoke impact hunters and anglers, as well as fish & game. As the story unfolds, the film illustrates how climate change is altering landscapes and changing the character of the northern Rockies. The cast for In The Heart Of The Rockies includes: • Elk hunter Craig Mathews (near West Yellowstone, MT) • Upland bird hunters Dave Perkins (Vice Chairman of Orvis), Nancy Mackinnon and Phoebe Bean (Rocky Mountain Front, MT) • Ice fisherman Hal Herring, his son Harold and daughter Carol Ann (near Glacier National Park, MT) • Fly fishers Hilary Hutcheson and her daughters Ella and Delaney, as well Todd Tanner and his son Kian.
