NEW VIDEO SERIES HIGHLIGHTS GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

Local videographer captures the visual wonders of Grand Teton 

Jackson, Wyoming – March 6, 2012 – Grand Teton National Park Foundation is pleased to announce the release of a new video featuring some of the year’s most spectacular footage of natural phenomena in Grand Teton National Park.   Day and Night in Grand Teton is the first of four videos in a new series, From Valley to Peak.  The films were recently completed by Jackson-based videographers Jesse Ryan and Ryan Christopher of New Thought Media on behalf of Grand Teton National Park Foundation and Grand Teton Association.

The project was commissioned in an effort to highlight the natural wonders of Grand Teton through a medium that is both contemporary and accessible.  The four minute videos showcase a selection of striking natural occurrences through artfully captured landscapes, time-lapses and insightful narration.  To view Day and Night in Grand Teton, visit www.gtnpf.org.  The three additional videos will be released on a monthly basis in April, May and June and can be viewed on our website. 

“Our effort to connect people to the park and to educate them about this amazing resource remains one of the most important components of our mission at the Foundation,” says Foundation president Leslie Mattson.  “Projects like this are a great way to spread the wonders of Grand Teton to national park lovers far and wide.”

The video series is one of the most recent Foundation-funded projects and echoes the organization’s overall mission to fund initiatives that go beyond what the National Park Service could accomplish on its own.  Since 1997, the organization has raised more than $20 million for education-based capital projects, work-and-learn programs that reconnect youth to nature, and wildlife research and protection.
