Natural Industrialism

Coming back to Montana after my first year tree planting, I was inspired to make a video project based off of a fictional narrative showing how technological development shifted our values and relationships to our environment from settlement to the present.  This project was shot and written primarily around the Helena and Butte areas. 

This project seems to be an effort for me to rationalize and make sense of my place withing this world, and the balance between human and natural forces.  I am not exactly sure of my inspiration, but this project initiated a long path of environmental activism and focus.
