This film sets the process of carving a buffalo against the backdrop of an original poem about Montana, revealing nomadic artist Mark Strand’s efforts to integrate his life, philosophy and art. The f. . . filmmakers hope that this film, shot on a standard definition camcorder more than a decade ago, demonstrates that sometimes a unique and compelling character trumps technical details. Mark Strand continues to travel the seldom frequented corners of Montana making his art and he deserves to be celebrated. show more

Nice snapshot into the life of talented artist, Mark Strand...in home state of Montana. Would love to see Mark revisited in a future project. Meanwhile look forward to binge watching more of your films :)

Mark Strand's a terrific artist and a good person. Think I remember him from a figure drawing class in Livingston way back when. Love the old napkin sketches and bar scene drawings.

I dont really know much about Montana but this gave me a glimpse and I like it. There's so much history and I am interested in so much more. The sculpture is very talented by the way.
