Director/Director of Photography on feature doc about the dying lifestyle and tradition of Montana cowboys: In central Montana, the Highwood Cattle Roundup has been happening exactly this same way since 1912. As the world changes and modernizes, this proud iconic American culture struggles to preserve its way of life. Through the perspective of a father, his two sons, and their extended family of Montana roundup cowboys, this intimate portrait is a window into the dying lifestyle of generations of proud ranching families, hard work, honor, tradition, and what might be their final roundup.
