Wyoming Art and Culture Matters

Wyoming Art and Culture Matters The “future of the past is the present” in Wyoming and the topic of our documentaries.

Wyoming Community Media doesn't operate a museum, save whales or feed babies, but through the power of motion pictures help those that do tell their stories better. WCM is funded in part by the Wyoming Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities; Wyoming Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts; The Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, Boulder Arts Commission. WCM recently

competed a documentary memoir, "Beyond Heart Mountain" about the filmmaker's experiences growing up in Wyoming following World War II. "Beyond Sand Creek" about potential repatriation of Arapaho tribal lands in Colorado and how that will go towards healing the racial prejudice that's occurred toward Native Americans for the past 150 years. WCM is producing a series of short documentaries about artists who created works in Wyoming during the New Deal era. The first episode is about Thomas Hart Benton and Jackson Po***ck being connected through Saratoga, Wyoming. The second episode profiles six artists who painted murals and made sculptures in six Wyoming Post offices.

Following the brush fires that swept across West Texas, Wyoming farmers and ranchers hauled truckloads of hay to support striggling cattle producers. The Wyoming Trout and Wildlife Agency and the Australian Department of Interior and Natural Resources collaborated and after a six month quarantine, released trucked kangaroos to the fire-stricken Harper Valley region, with the hopes that introducing the marsupials will stabilize the area enough to relocate wolves from the Cowboy State. Governors Lewis and Martin were on a Zoom call about constructing a migrant detention camp near the nuclear power plant in Western Wyoming and were unavailable for comment on April Fool’s Day.

Another high altitude growth industry?

Those blue buckets on box elder trees in Rawlins are part of a feasibility study to see if syrup from the trees can be commercialized. Food critics say the syrup from maples - which are difficult to grow in Wyoming - and box elders is indistinguishable.

Three months late, but Alan O'Hashi’s novel “Libby Flats,” finally dropped this week. It’s a coming of age story that happens during the twilight of life when long lost friends are closer than family. The story culminates at Libby Flats west of Laramie, and includes a love triangle, conflicts around race and gender identity that takes place at the Quiver Mountain Ranch near Lander, Wyoming, at a party house called the Calamity Club in Laramie, an upper social class niche of Cherry Ridge, in northern New Jersey, and the Blue Sky Village cohousing community in Boulder, Colorado.

Our Story

Boulder Community Media is looking for good stories. We’re embarking on one that is fun and gets across a good message. “Carol and Santa” is a children’s story based in Wyoming.

What if a naughty girl is picked by Santa to deliver lumps of coal to all the other misbehaving kids around the world, but after visiting with children in other countries about kindness and forgiveness has a Christmas Eve redemption?

That’s what happens to Carol Bell in this 30 minute animated program that is planned to be completed in 2020.

Other current stories in production connect our past histories and the present.
