Lynn-Wood Fields
I generally like to observe and analyze people from park benches, chairlifts, restaurant tables, yoga mats, bars, concerts, and airplanes without their knowledge. This type of behavior needs a healthy outlet and so writing/creating films became the answer. I also love, love, love snowboarding, music, movies, and Montana.
Amber Bushnell
I have been passionate about art for as long as I can remember. While studying traditional art and design, I discovered the world of digital art and instantly fell in love. Now as a digital art and design student, I am looking forward to pushing my design skills and developing my style. Aside from my interest in digital art, I also am a videographer with an interest in creating documentaries. I hope to someday combine these interests with my passion for the outdoors. When you don't find me in front of the computer, you can surely run into me enjoying the snow on my board, leaning into a singletrack turn on my mountain bike, or packing my backpack into the backcountry!

Jason Gutzmer
Jason Gutzmer is a father, a husband, and a traveler, but is best known at the U of M as an educator and visual artist--visual because most of what he does you can look at. From a broad range of cinematography for both fiction and nonfiction to painting constructions, performance art, public art installations, digital art and design, Jason’s enthusiasm for creating culture, art, and teaching have led him from the Rockies to the Amazon, where he taught classes and led workshops in diverse realms of art.
Bob Boyer
I am a Canadian-born writer and artist. Having completed a fifteen year teaching stint in the public schools, I have recently become interested in film-making as a means of further exploring my interest in the arts.
