POET ON THE PRAIRIE Shooting on HDCam, 24p, wide screen, Poet on the Prairie brings to life the story of a Western original, Dayton O. Hyde. The film begins on a haunting stretch of land in the Black Hills of South Dakota where 500 captured wild mustangs are once again running free. This is one of the last bastions of land where horses can be free and where this cowboy is living out the last part of his life. Dayton’s journey began in Marquette, Michigan where at the age of 13 he ran away from home to join his uncle on a cattle ranch in Oregon. From there he learned the ways of the west; rodeos, cattle drives and Native American’s formed Hyde’s passion for preserving the prairies and the creatures that inhabit the land. From saving the Sand Hill Crane, to creating an environment where coyotes and cattle could co-exist, to reestablishing a lost lake, Hyde’s biggest conservation project sits on an 11,000-acre reserve where he continues to save wild horses and the land they inhabit. Full Motion Pictures is creating this cinematic adventure by examining the life of this man who through prose, poetry, conservation, grace and wisdom has preserved part of American history for generations to come. Poet on the Prairie is an exquisite film that will take viewers back to lost times and forgotten places giving each of us pause to reflect on our own contributions to this world. |
