i doubt even i'll ever get to see it in the theatre. it may get into some
wildlife film festivals or get a run on PBS, but that's far from definite. if
you ever go to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska, it'll be playing at
the visitor center there for at least 10 years. i never heard of this park,
even though i've been to alaska, have done a number of films for the park
service and have visited most of the major parks - this is actually america's
biggest nat'l park (i thought denali was). it's bigger than switzerland - 6x
the size of yellowstone - huge! very beautiful, very wild, and usually very
cold and overcast. it's an amazing place, though, and if i ever go back to
alaska, i'll try to see it. we'll all probably become more familiar with it in
the next few years. princess cruises is building a 100 acre complex outside the
park; the park service is putting in a new visitor center with a
state-of-the-art HD surround sound theatre and is trying to divert some tourism
to this park, to help relieve the stress of the high visitorship at denali.
