Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival

Last Thursday I photographed the "Wild and Scenic Film Festival" at the Wilma. The South Yuba River Citizens League, SYRCL, started the film festival to promote community-building within the Yuba Watershed. Eleven short films about environmental issues around the world were presented.


Genevieve King, the Director of the Sustainable Business Council, helped organize the event.
The Wilma lobby was full of movie-goers and sponsors with their booths.
Susan Anderson, left, and Miriam Mick, a SBC board members, sells raffle tickets.
Jeannette Williams, also a SBC member, help people fill out their raffle tickets.

Local Missoulians, Seth Warren and Tyler Bradt had a Q & A session after their film, "Oil and Water Project."
Owner of the Trail Head and a sponsor of the evening, Todd Frank, helped with the raffle drawing during intermission.
Ryan Applegate, a representative from Patagonia-Dillan, spoke to the audience and handed out a few gifts to the audience.
All those bike riders helped make this festival a climate-neutral event.
