To Be Forever Wild

To Be Forever Wild, a nonfiction film in progress, was created by a group of 15 filmmakers, musicians and artists in New York's Catskill Mountains.

We were based in a little red cabin once used by Jack London and now loaned to artists by the Catskill Center. We took inspiration from Henry David Thoreau, who used his time in the wilderness to reflect on the faults and the potential of the society to which he would return. This film will chronicle the people we met, places we visited and history we discovered in the Catskill Mountains, known as America's first wilderness.
