Hiya, David!

Thanks for the clip of Dragon Painter. I'm sending a link to Karen Blakely the bus driver--I think she might be interested in the fact that another movie was shot in Yosemite.

I'm also embedding it over at the Little Red Tent!

Yes, Karen will have to amend the narration...

I found some more tonight...a silent film version of Last of the Mohicans....a travel documentary, Fascinating Yosemite (search youtub)...great bear scenes!...this one looks special!

Winner of the Best Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival, COLOR OF A BRISK AND LEAPING DAY is a boldly atmospheric and subtly complex historical drama from indie auteur Christopher Münch (The Sleepy Time Gal). It tells the story of John Lee, grandson to a Chinese railroad laborer, who holds idealistic visions of saving a Yosemite Valley short-line train from bankruptcy, with help from long-time rail employees (Michael Stipe of R.E.M. and Henry Gibson of Magnolia)
