Filmmakers are taking note about Gray Wolves Conservation. Druid Peak by Marni Zelnick SYNOPSIS Druid Peak is a coming of age story about a troubled teenage boy who finds his place in the world tracking wolves in the wild lands of Wyoming. Sixteen year‐old Owen Wagner isnt just rebellious‐‐ hes a bully with a mean streak. Growing up in coal country West Virginia, he struggles against the claustrophobia of small town life and the displacement he feels as the only child of his mothers first marriage. With anger he cant contain, he lashes out against school and family. But when his actions lead to the accidental death of a friend, his mother decides the only way to save him is to send him away. Owen is shipped off to live with his father, Everett Gordon, a biologist working on Yellowstones wolf reintroduction program. At first, Owen wants no part of this new life. But on a failed attempt to escape the park, he has his first encounter with a Canadian gray wolf. The creatures deep, penetrating gaze startles him‐‐ stirring something long dead inside his own self. Sensing the first signs of change in his son, Everett encourages Owen to collect some basic data about the wolf he saw and its family pack‐‐ the Druid Peak pack. Owens small assignment grows into a passion and his own life becomes deeply tied to the Druid Peak wolves and their struggle for survival. When a change in government policy threatens the animals, Owen must decide how far he will go to protect the wolves, his father, and the place he has finally come to call home. Marni Zelnick did a lot of research with Doug Smith. Her script won a $100,000.00 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation which helped us raise the funds to make this beautiful indie film. https://facebook/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo%2F96960675&h=iAQGOvYry
