A Rivers Runs Through IT

So last night ash and I went to a reading by Annick Smith, who is a writer, editor, and filmmaker who lives in Montana's Blackfoot River Valley. Her books include the memoir Homestead; Big Bluestem, Journey into the Tallgrass, written for The Nature Conservancy; the Montana anthology The Last Best Place, coedited with William Kittredge; and the recently published The Wide Open: Prose, Poetry, and Photographs of the Prairie. She was a founding member of the Sundance Film Institute, the executive producer of the feature film Heartland, and a coproducer of Robert Redford's production of A River Runs Through It.

It was very interesting but she seemed miffed at Robert Redford about not shooting the movie on the real river from the Book A River Runs Through it..
SO I asked her about it and it was great.. she kinda ripped on the NATURAL (robert R) a bit and she was a very hip fiesty women.. WHO READ WELL.
I dug it..
and I also dig this...
