ORNITHOLOGY (AND OTHER HOBBIES YOU CAN TAKE TOO FAR)
From Crested Butte native, Benjamin Swift, comes the story of two young lovers who want to be birds. They masticate, they mate, and they turn their home into a nest. When an untimely death snaps them out of the trance, they’re once again tasked with finding a lifestyle to fill the cracks in their strained relationship.

A world-exploring mountain guide explores his relationship between risk management in the backcountry and the raising of his young daughter.
THE BEN I AM
Ben, a young filmmaker at a small college, comes toe to toe with an identity crisis when he investigates a group of 36 students who share one thing in common: his name. Featuring Crested Butte local, Benjamin Swift.
A THOUSAND CASTS
Oliver White’s pursuit of fish on the fly now takes him to the mythical, magical country of Bhutan to do what he does best – figure things out.
RURAL RUNNERS
RURAL RUNNERS follows a progressive climate activist as she becomes the youngest representative elected to both the Maine House of Representatives and Senate, winning two consecutive campaigns in deep-red rural districts. The film follows Chloe Maxmin and her campaign manager, Canyon Woodward, as they throw away the traditional Democratic playbook (which lost roughly 90% of the vote to Trump in rural counties in the 2020 election) to unseat Republicans, one in a district that had never voted Democrat before. They reached across the aisle, knocked on 13,000 doors, and actually listened to people. Chloe and Canyon are gaining national attention as they shake up the Democratic Party and rehumanize our deeply divided political system. The film is an intimate portrait that offers hope, healing, and a path toward a healthier democracy.
