OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | FREE ADMISSION

You're invited to spend an evening with author and filmmaker Brad Orsted. Brad Orsted is an award-winning wildlife and conservation filmmaker/photographer, author, speaker and wilderness therapy instructor. Brad’s work has appeared on Nat Geo Wild, The BBC, PBS, Nature, The Washington Post and Smithsonian Channel. Brad’s most recent film, “The Beast of Our Time: Grizzly Bears and Climate Change” is narrated by none other than The Dude, Jeff Bridges.

Fifty-years-in-the-making, The Beast of Our Time interviews top scientists, advocates, authors, ranchers, and indigenous poets to investigate the catastrophic effects of climate change on grizzlies and their habitat. The film is both a dire warning and a compelling call to action to advocate for habitat, connectivity, tolerance, wildlife crossings, and room to roam. The film recently won Best Environmental Film Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival.

Brad’s first memoir, Through the Wilderness: My Journey of Redemption and Healing in the American Wild, was released in June, 2023. The evening will include a viewing of his short film "The Beast of our Time..." along with a short reading from his memoir and a Q&A. This event is free to the public.

The doors will open at 6:30PM. Books will be available for purchase at the event and Brad will be signing them for guests.

This event is brought to you by Cub Creek Photography (Amy Gerber) in cooperation with The Cody Theater and Legends Bookstore
