Wolverine: Chasing The Phantom
Mount Ellis Academy, January 28, 2012 @ 7pm in the Mount Ellis Academy Administration Building.

Through the heart of the frozen north, roams a creature with a mystique as old as the mountains and a reputation as big as all outdoors: Wolverine. The name alone conjures an image of a savage, solitary killer who crushes bones to
powder with powerful jaws. But peel back the layers of legend and you’ll find a remarkable animal -- far more vulnerable than villainous, with a fierce appetite for survival . . . and for surprise.

Join Wildlife Filmmaker, Gianna Savoie for a glimpse into the secretive world of this mysterious carnivore through a special screening and presentation of her Emmy
nominated film, Wolverine: Chasing the Phantom.

Gianna Savoie is an award-winning Natural History filmmaker and educator with a passion for the environment that drives her to sink her teeth into some of the most critical conservation issues on the planet. Trained as a scientist, with a Master’s degree in Environmental Biology, she pairs her love of science with the art of filmmaking to craft stories that not only inform, but resonate. Her work has been featured on PBS, National Geographic, Discovery, the BBC, and Animal Planet.

In 2010, Gianna wrote and produced, Wolverine: Chasing the Phantom for the PBS series, NATURE which has won several awards and was recently nominated for an Emmy for “Outstanding Nature Program.” Her previous film, Life in Death Valley, received over a dozen awards, including “Best Film About an Ecosystem” from the International Wildlife Film Festival, “Excellence in Writing” from the U.S. International Film & Video Festival, and the Montana Cine award for “Best Television Program of 2006.”

She is currently teaching in MSU’s Graduate program for Science and Natural History Filmmaking, while writing and story-producing, Our Blue Canoe, a theatrical feature documentary about the plight of the Pacific Ocean, due to be released in 2013.
