This website showcases film and photography within two film galleries, a photography gallery, and a gallery of collected images from several projects.  
Filmmaker & Photographer Chuck Cranston is known for the award winning narrative films “Lakota Vision” (PBS), “Through Martha’s Eyes” (PBS), and “Story of Family” (PBS).   All three films tell stories of Native American and African American history.  He is also known for several short narrative films including “High Value”, a story about a time in the future when climate change is causing mass migration and a shortage of water in North America.  He has also done documentaries about the need for conservation of groundwater in the Northern Plains, and the struggle to protect traditional salmon fishing habitat for Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest.     
       The Photography Gallery exhibits nature and landscape scenics from the western plains to the northern rockies.  The Mobile Film gallery explores using mobile cameras for cinematic expression and art.  And In addition, another gallery provides stills of featured work with a few behind-the-scenes images.
