Oscar Nominated and Emmy Award Winning Writer/Director David Vassar and Sally Kaplan of Backcountry Pictures make film and television about the natural world and environmental issues.

In March, as part of the celebration of the National Park Service Centennial, the Environmental Film Festival in the nation’s capital and the Smithsonian Institution presented A WALK IN THE PARK WITH DAVID VASSAR, a retrospective of 40 years of filmmaking that features film clips about parks cross the country and environmental history.

The director of the National Park Foundation attended the event and shared this:

“A Walk in the Park with David Vassar serves as a perfect celebration of the National Park Service’s Centennial. It not only inspires the audience to visit these magnificent parks, but it provides a powerful understanding of their historical context and highlights the importance of preserving these places for future generations.” –    Will Shafroth, President and CEO of the National Park Foundation

In continued celebration of the National Park Service centennial year, they are taking the live program/film retrospective ‘on the road.’

Their first stop is right here, in their home, in Calaveras County.

In the near future, they will be issuing a press release and setting up a ticket site/link where people can purchase tickets on line.
