Behind the Scenes on "Drowned Land" with Director Colleen Thurston
While filming the feature documentary Drowned Land, Director Colleen Thurston wanted to showcase the diversity of the animal life in the Ouachita Mountains and around the Kiamichi River in Oklahoma, including the active black bear population. A few missed shots and a wild bear chase later, they did catch a bear on film—but not in the way they expected!
