A little about the filmmakers:
Doug Hawes-Davis co-founded High Plains Films with Drury Gunn Carr in 1995. Since then, the "do it all yourself" filmmakers have collaborated on more than a twenty documentaries. Their films have been screened around the world and won more than 40 awards. Hawes-Davis was the recipient of a Montana Individual Artists' Fellowship Award in 2001. In 2006, the filmmaking team of Carr and Hawes-Davis was the first recipient of the True West Visionary Award, a career achievement award at the True/False West Film Festival. Brave New West is their 8th feature-length documentary film, following Southbound (1995), Varmints (1998), Killing Coyote (2000), El Caballo: The Wild Horses of North America (2001), This is Nowhere (2002), American Values, American Wilderness (2005), and Libby, Montana (2007). Challenging in both form and content, his work is intended to provide insight into the relationship between human society and the natural world. Hawes-Davis also founded the internationally-recognized Big Sky Documentary Film Festival in 2003. He continues as Director of Programming for the festival.
