The Footsteps of Zeus - Feature Documentary by Michael Utt
Short documentary

Filmmaker - Michael Utt

The Footsteps of Zeus was produced while training for a 50K trail race. It's stress reducing to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life by running and hiking scenic trails while seeking the peace and solitude of mother nature. In this documentary, the filmmaker's new gravity theory is shared while exploring the unknown. There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. If we can share opinions with confidence and without arrogance, we can respect the differences. This film also shows very unique footage in front of the majestic backdrop of the Grand Tetons.

It's Not a Joking Matter was produced after returning to Glacier National Park in Montana after 24 years and noticing the dramatic effects of climate change on the region.
