Celebrating our nation’s greatest treasure on Independence Day! We’re honored that our film “History and Future of America’s Public Lands” will be shown as a special Fourth of July event tonight at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota with Walt Dabney hosting a Q & A afterwards. Walt tells the amazing and improbable story of how America acquired the territories that now make up our nation’s public lands and belong to all of us. Special thanks to Canyonlands Natural History Association for funding making the film possible.

There are Old Growth Forests in Moab? The idea that the under-appreciated Pinyon-Juniper forests in the Moab desert are actually “old growth forests” is surprising – and more importantly – worth preserving. Check out our latest short film revealing how there is so much more than meets the eye in these arid forest landscapes. Produced in cooperation with Sand Flats Recreation Area

Tonight Artemis II passes behind the Moon and brings back memories of 1968 when the crew of Apollo 8 first attempted this perilous journey in a time when technology as we know it today didn’t exist. For Finley-Holiday Films, this was a time of mass producing Apollo space program color slides and super 8mm movies that were sold in museums, science centers and gift shops across the country. 1969 was Finley-Holiday’s biggest financial year ever thanks to the Apollo 11 Moon Landing and the foresight of founder and president Bill Finley. Bill was a big fan of spaceflight since the Buck Rogers days of his childhood, and the Apollo Moon Landing missions were a vision and dream come true for him.
