![]() ![]() We made the film for next to nothing, just like today’s indie authors produce a book. The film was titled Nature’s Way but before its release was changed to Don’t Change My World. I was chosen to write, direct, and edit for the simple reason that I had more experience than anyone else involved, plus I was still riding on my fame from The Now Explosion. All you had to do was get the cast and crew to a really spectacular location and tell a reasonably entertaining story about a hero single-handedly fighting man’s abuse of nature. The attraction to this genre for the filmmaker was that Mother Nature provided all the sets and most of the players (wildlife) for free. ![]() The timing was right because several G-rated low-budget ‘outdoor-adventure’ films had done very well, chief among them was Grizzly Adams. I was part of a small production company that decided to make a low-budget feature film for theatrical distribution. That’s me in the plaid shirt.Ī little less than 40 years ago I jumped through these same kinds of hoops but in a different medium: film. The joys of shooting in the great outdoors. ![]()
