"Curiosity rapidly emerges from being in nature
and inspires meaningful discoveries like the hot springs
ancient living and fossilized microbes that become
a mirror into the universe of life.
The Yellowstone Wild through Time film opens the door
to this microscopic world within geo-thermals and is also
interconnected with expansive wildlife experiences."

“Experience what lies beneath, Yellowstone Wild Through Time uses photography
and visualization to uncover the earth's geothermal energy to reveal the park’s hidden architecture,
a living landscape forged by forces both visible and unseen
deep within the earth.”
Christopher Bodine, Terra Incognita Research Institute
(LiDAR Drone Expert and Archaeological Researcher)
"Absolutely beautiful! You managed to reveal the formation of Earth and Yellowstone
and supplied incredible photography leading us up to today’s rich environment
full of animals.
I've been to Yellowstone many times, yet I feel like I'm seeing it for the first time
in your beautiful short film. The wildlife footage is stunning!
This Film places the audience right there as wild bison and elk run from a wolf pack,
raging forest fires and unpredictable weather conditions.
The film offers an immersive, memorable and realistic view of one of the world's
most beautiful wildlife and geothermal places in the world along with stories of life,
death, escape and mystery."

Yellowstone Wild through Time is a timeless treasure
like no other place in the world showcasing grand geo-thermals
with thousands of ancient hot springs and geysers.
While an active Supervolcano Caldera is ever present below,
awe-inspiring rivers and waterfalls, sweeping lodgepole pine forests
as well as sagebrush and wild grass meadows are home for incredible wildlife (grizzly and black bears, grey wolves, cougars and more). Everyday is a successful exploration for those who bravely venture on Yellowstone's trails with a strong spirit of observation.
Looking towards the night skies and the celestial heavens will be
a guide to marvel in seeing its seasonal constellations, planets and meteor showers shown in this film. For me, the North Star(Polaris), reminds me of how my seventh generation grandfather, Captain William Clark, traveled through the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystems
while mapping unexplored territories for the Lewis and Clark Expedition commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson in 1803.
The Lewis and Clark Museum in St. Louis,
Missouri celebrates this historical achievement.
Yellowstone Wild through Time reveals the remarkable forest,
river and mountainous terrain including abundant wildlife as seen during the Lewis and Clark expedition.
