When we began the production of Red Earth Calling, we could not have anticipated the amazing reception the film would receive on the festival circuit. We sought to capture the beauty of dance on the screen, convey the majesty of Arches National Park's sacred land, and inspire viewers. We hope that, on this first day of the new year, the film will continue to reach new audiences in 2016. Here are a few of the wonderful highlights from this past year:
