National broadcasts of FACING THE STORM: STORY OF THE AMERICAN BISON
April 24, 2012
National broadcasts of FACING THE STORM: STORY OF THE AMERICAN BISON will begin this Thursday, April 26, 2012 on the acclaimed PBS series, Independent Lens. Nearly 1600 broadcast dates have been confirmed by PBS stations nation-wide with all major markets carrying the program. Check local listings for broadcast times and dates. This latest work by filmmaker, Doug Hawes-Davis, is an unflinching examination of the complex, centuries-long relationship between humans and bison in North America. The Kansas City Star calls the film, “An incisive history of the animal’s relationship to man and efforts to restore bison herds to the Great Plains.” The Missoulian adds that the film “paints a portrait that’s as broad and subtly shaded as the Great Plains themselves.”
The feature version of the film, which was broadcast exclusively on MontanaPBS has been nominated for a NW Regional Emmy Award in the Documentary category. Amazon and the iTunes store are now accepting pre-orders for DVD and video downloads of the documentary feature. If you have already seen the film, please take a minute to rate the film or write a short user review on both iTunes and amazon.

News from High Plains Films - April 13, 2012
Kickstarter Campaign Launched for ALL THE LABOR, Feature Documentary About The Gourds
High Plains Films has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a new feature documentary, ALL THE LABOR, about the Austin, Texas quintet, The Gourds. Production on the film began in the summer of 2011. The Kickstarter campaign is intended to support post-production and completion of the film, in preparation for a spring 2013 premiere. The film will include live concert footage, commentary by band members, private performances by Gourds songwriters, archival images, and lots of behind-the-scenes footage that will tell the story of the 15-year career of the band.
The Gourds’ Montana tour, April 19-21, will be the final shoot for the movie.
Join The Gourds and film crew for the Montana shows. We would love to have your participation in the movie.

About ALL THE LABOR -
In March 2011, The Gourds recorded their tenth full studio album at “The Barn” in Woodstock, New York. Produced by longtime Bob Dylan sideman, Larry Campbell, “Old Mad Joy” was released in September on Vanguard Records. Production began on ALL THE LABOR in late August when the band rented an abandoned kitchen in a former mental institution in south Austin to practice the songs Campbell helped them hone back in March. Since then, the alt-country roots rockers have toured relentlessly - as they have for the past 17 years - in support of their first major label release. While all of the The Gourds’ critically-acclaimed records deserve the praise they have received, fans know that a full understanding of the band can only be achieved through experiencing them live. ALL THE LABOR will introduce viewers to the energy and excitement of the band’s live performances while painting an intimate portrait of these talented songwriters and musicians at the top of their game.
ALL THE LABOR is a production of Big Sky Pictures, LLC in association with High Plains Films, a program of the Big Sky Film Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All contributions to ALL THE LABOR are fully tax-deductible.
