In Montana, the people aren't just friendly; they're the heartbeat of the land. Tom Opre, award-winning filmmaker and founder of the Shepherds of Wildlife Society, has spent decades traveling the globe, but it's the genuine, down-to-earth nature of Montanans that truly stands out to him. Whether it's a neighbor lending a hand or a community rallying together, the spirit of togetherness and respect for the land is palpable. Living in the Flathead Valley, Tom finds inspiration in the daily interactions and shared values that make Montana feel like home. It's this authenticity and connection that fuel his passion for storytelling and conservation.
