Synopsis:

Home. The American West.

Cattle country. Cowboy hats, ranch life. 

Bison, deer, rabbits, badgers, coyotes. Meadowlarks, night hawks, pelicans, ducks, egrets, heron, cranes, curlews. Crickets, beetles, grasshoppers. Box turtles.

Bluestem, switchgrass, prairie sand reef. The rare, and oh so lovely Hayden’s blowout penstemon.

The Ogallala aquifer. The Niobrara River. The Snake River. The Platte. 

The Lakes-Goose, Black, Schoonover, Old Woman, Bean Can, Black Steer.

All of these resonate powerfully with anyone who has spent time there. Conjuring up memories of this vast expanse which covers more than a quarter of Nebraska—The Sandhills.

An unimaginable volume of land, that blows endlessly and softly rolls into only sky. Rich and solid histories of ranching families 

It’s beautiful, untouched and inspiring country. An American oasis. 

We were there this winter during intense blizzards. We plan to get there again in late May and early June. We will be there in July for rodeos and parades, local ice cream shops, community swimming pools, and towns where nobody locks their doors. We will go back for the changing colors of fall. Small town sports, communities coming together and harvest. 

In many ways, it’s like stepping back to a simpler, quieter, calmer time. Nebraska is the America that not many people know still exists. It’s a work from sun-up to sun-down kind of place where people work hard, raise families and live the good life. 

Americans are heading back to smaller communities, a different lifestyle focusing on family and home. 

We want to celebrate this homecoming with a film of a Nebraskan’s view of those families who been there through multiple generations and those who are joining now. 

It’s about the individuals for sure but much more. It’s a about the spirits of proprietorship, and wilderness deeply entrenched in those who live there.
