Elk River

Elk River follows scientist Arthur Middleton, photographer Joe Riis and artist James Prosek as they interpret elk migrations through their individual mediums – data driven science, camera trap photography and original paintings. As they travel deep into the heart of the rugged and beautiful landscape of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, they work with landowners, ranch managers, outfitters, guides, agency biologists, and many others to walk in the footsteps of this awe-inspiring animal. Elk River premiered at Mountainfilm in Telluride May 2016.
