OUR FILMS
Deep in the Heart: A Texas Wildlife Story
Deep in the Heart is a visually stunning celebration of Texas’ diverse landscapes and remarkable wildlife found nowhere else. Narrated by Matthew McConaughey, the film aims to conserve our remaining wild places, to show the connectivity of water and wildlife, and to recognize Texas’ conservation importance on a continental scale.
The River and the Wall
The River and the Wall follows five friends on an immersive adventure through the unknown wilds of the Texas borderlands as they travel 1200 miles from El Paso to the Gulf of Mexico on horses, mountain bikes, and canoes. They set out to document the borderlands and explore the potential impacts of a wall on the natural environment, but as the wilderness gives way to the more populated and heavily trafficked Lower Rio Grande Valley, they come face-to-face with the human side of the immigration debate and enter uncharted emotional waters.
Unbranded
Four young Cowboys hatch a plot to adopt, train, and ride a string of wild mustangs 3,000 miles from Mexico to Canada through the wildest terrain of the American West. The trip became an epic journey of self-discovery, tested friendships, and iconic landscapes that included runaway horses, a sassy donkey, perilous mountain passes, rodeos, sickness, injury, and death. The Audience Award winner at Telluride Mountainfilm and Hot Docs Film Festival, Unbranded is a soaring tale of danger and resilience, an emotionally charged odyssey that shines a bright light on the complex plight of our country's wild horses.
HELLO!
Making movies is a true team effort and each film is the culmination of love, passion, and creativity of dozens or even hundreds of people. I started Fin and Fur Films in 2012 with a Kickstarter campaign that raised small donations to fund the film Unbranded. Since then, our team has had the opportunity to work with prestigious networks and brands, but we remain true to our roots of being river rats, dirtbags, backcountry horsemen, and field savvy wildlife biologists. I’m immensely proud of the movies and impact we’ve made at Fin and Fur Films, and want to emphasize the crucial role that our partners, collaborators, donors, and contractors play in creating these films. To all of you who’ve helped produce our films or have given your precious time to watch them, THANK YOU!
