FUNERAL FOR A GLACIER

ABOUT THE FILM

The glaciers of Glacier National Park are projected to melt by the end of the decade, so 2x National Park Service Artists-in-Residence and National Forest Service “Voices of the Wilderness” Brad Einstein and Kyle Niemer (AKA Tree Huggers Comedy) are sending them off in style with their new hour-long comedy-nature documentary, FUNERAL FOR A GLACIER.

Shot on location and utilizing a unique blend of stunning visuals, expert interviews, and original sketches, songs, and puppetry (a style its creators lovingly refer to as “Not Geo”), FUNERAL FOR A GLACIER offers a madcap exploration of the wonder of our wild spaces — and the responsibility we share to protect them.

Directed by Brad Einstein and Kyle Niemer (runtime: 60 minutes)
