A Brutal, Beautiful Life
10Mins
In the vast, rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains and high desert, ranching women, their dogs, horses, and cattle, share powerful connections that reveal nature’s quiet ways. This is the story of four species - dog, horse, cow, human – and the confluence of their lives on the range, in the mountains and high desert. This is a story about tiny moments of understanding and connection, unseen by most, appreciated by few. These moments are rich with meaning and speak to connecting with nature in a way that honors intuition and experience.

My Grandmother's Sketchbook | UNDER MONT BLANC
13Mins
All it took was a few simple sketches from Max Romey’s Grandmother's sketchbook to lead him on a generational scavenger hunt halfway across the world. The goal: To find and sketch from the exact spot where she stood all those years ago under Mont Blanc and make the same sketch in the same spot. Max’s Grandmother (Lu) taught him how to paint when he was young and growing up with Dyslexia, it helped him find his voice through watercolor. But now the only way he can sketch with her again is to find where these sketches were made in a shifting alpine environment. With the help of record setting alpinist and tenacious plant enthusiast Hillary Gerardi, they head in search of the sketches from the top of the Aiguille du Midi to the toe of Mer De Glace. But the lesson they find is far more colorful than any sketchbook could hold.
