Wilderness & Civility

Hello everyone,
As I know that many of you are interested in local histories--especially as they pertain to wilderness and civility--I thought this project by local filmmaker Sabrina Alonso may be of interest. She is looking for venues to screen this work, especially libraries or historical organizations. For more information or to arrange a screening, please see www.grizzlyroad.com or contact Sabrina directly at sabrinajos@hotmail.com.
Yours,
Cassie

In 1908, the last California Grizzly was reported shot and killed. One hundred years later, to commemorate the extinction of this amazing creature (and, ironically, our State symbol), I decided to make a documentary film tracing its demise. My film"Grizzly Road" will be released soon, and I wanted to send you the website (www.grizzlyroad.com) as well as a short clip that is linked. Take a look around the site if you like, and keep an eye out for the film, which will hopefully be screened around the city at guerrilla screenings, libraries and in small art houses in the coming months.

Also, if any of you have (or know of anyone who has) contacts with local regional librarians, I'm trying to set up potential screenings around the state at libraries, to raise awareness that the California grizzly bear was found in just about every coastal lowland area where heavy populations of people now live. It was as much a part of our landscape 150 years ago as Wallmarts are today.

Anyway, I hope to see you all soon and I hope you are well.

Love,
Sabrina
