Wolves, war & Vermont have this in common:
Dream Catcher Films, Inc. attention...

Producer Holly Stadtler just returned from a successful wolf tracking trip to Canada, is working with a group of Vermont filmmakers on a documentary, and will host screenings of Finding Our Voices around the 6th anniversary of the US led invasion into Iraq (3/2009). Here is more about the 3 interests:

Wolves...I traveled with 11 other naturalists to Algonquin Provincial Park in Canada to track wolves, led by wild canid ecologist Christine Schadler. We were privileged to observe a fisher and wolves feeding on a moose carcass several days, pine martens in the wild and to interpret the stories of fox, mink and other animals in the snow from tracks.

Alarmingly, wolves out west are in danger. Recently, Sec. of the Interior Salazar stripped protection from wolves in the Rockies, following in the Bush Administration's footsteps. Don't let state sponsored killing sessions destroy packs. Last year the population in Yellowstone (which I've been excited to watch in the wild) declined 27% and pups are dying of an unknown illness. They need protection under the endangered species act. Please write to ask Salazar to protect these wolves: http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/biogems_wolves_0309

Vermont... I'm honored to be among a group of Vermont filmmakers who are each working on segments for a film that explores the independent spirit and uniqueness of Vermont. This is an indy film in post production and completion is expected this summer. This project relies on donations & grants and can use your support. Please check it out: http://thevermontmovie.com/

War... To mark the 6th anniversary of the invasion on Iraq, our film Finding Our Voices will be screening at several theaters with Q&A by myself, Director Vicki Hughes or Videographer Laurel Jensen. If you would like to host a screening of the film in your home, church or organization contact Holly Stadtler at dreamcat@gmavt.net or purchase the film at http://www.findingourvoices.com/ht/d/Store/pid/2297.

And let's all work to bring our troops home. You can pledge to remind President Obama of his promise to end the war at Code Pink's website: http://www.codepink4peace.org/
