Synopsis:
Dancing Ground is a story about the lengths to which a man must go to find himself as a child. And how only by making that journey is he able to really become a father to his son, and a son to his father. Growing up in Montana, I have a deep connection to and understanding of the land, and the way our landscape affects our lives. In Dancing Ground, it is not until Tom makes the journey out into the land, and stumbles upon a place of great and ancient meaning, is he able to free himself of his daily responsibilities, frustrations, and hang-ups.

Director's Statement:
The script was inspired largely by hunting trips I took with my own father ten or so years ago. It was a real treat for both of us to have him work on this movie -- credited, at his request, as Key Grip Emeritus. I find myself often writing about fathers and sons, even as I try to navigate my own course among them. I feel very lucky to have a father who has come to understand and support my passion for filmmaking. This film is for him.
