Grasslands is a short documentary produced by Luceo as a pilot video for a series centered on the role of public lands in the American experience. The film blends interviews, historical imagery, and on-location videography to explore the complex history of bison, their longstanding importance to native communities, the species’ near extermination, and their subsequent restoration across the American grasslands. My role was in documenting bison release and filming broll, including drone footage.
