A collection of short films made by graduate students from the MFA in Science and Natural History Filmmaking program which is part of the School of Film and Photography at Montana State University. The MFA film program guides students from a variety of backgrounds, from film to environmental science to physics, as they learn the history and theory of documentary film while also mastering the range of production skills needed to become innovative filmmakers. Their work shows a wide range of interests from wildlife film, conservation film, historical documentary and personal filmmaking. This collection features short documentary projects that were produced in the students’ first and second year.
Twelve dogs, one musher. Charmayne Morrison is a 23-year-old musher and is completing her first 300-mile attempt at Race to the Sky in Lincoln, Montana. Her training will push her and the team closer to the finish line as they go up against drowsiness, illness, and freezing temperatures. Crossing the finish line would place her closer to her dream by qualifying for the 1000-mile Iditarod, also known as “The Last Great Race,” where she and her canine companions would face the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness.
