About this Event
The Oh Be Joyful Gallery invites you to a very special event hosting the award-winning feature documentary Out There: A National Parks Story, in our home of Crested Butte, CO. Filmmaker Brendan Hall will be joining us alongside the film's composer Elizabeth P.W., who will play live songs from the film's soundtrack.
In the documentary, a young filmmaker sets out on a 10,000-mile exploration of the national parks with his childhood friend during the centennial year of the formation of the National Park Service. Along the way, they share experiences of the people that work in the parks and those that come to enjoy them, as part of the rich tapestry of the history of the park system emerges. They hear profound stories from people of all ages and walks of life who have come to the parks seeking tranquility, healing, motivation, and connection to the natural world. This stunning road trip film is a tribute to the national parks and their history, and is also a recognition of the people that appreciate them and work to preserve their beauty.
Out There has toured film festivals across the country in 2023-24 to consistently sold out audiences, and has headlined screening events in 2024 including the Explorers Club, the Public Lands Alliance, and Pixar Animation Studios. The screening will also be preceded by the very first showing of a short documentary that director Brendan Hall created following a pack trip with Oh Be Joyful artists. Those artists will be in attendance, giving extra resonance to this moment shared with the community.
We expect this event to sell out so secure your tickets early! We look forward to sharing this ode to the natural world with you.
