“Bois d'Arc Goodbye” is back by popular demand!
Because many folks missed the opportunity to see this documentary film in Honey Grove last month — and others would like to see it again — Films & Forums has scheduled to host two screenings of the film, each followed by a discussion facilitated by one of the filmmakers, Russell Graves.
The film — produced and directed by Russell and William “Bubba” Graves after a year of filming and post production — chronicles their canoe trips along the creek and provides an insight of the creek culture with thoughtful interviews, dynamic still photography, and creative videography. Shot in high definition using traditional video cameras as well as a the new hybrid digital SLR cameras, the visuals in the project offer a view of the creek not seen by many.
Russell Graves, originally from the Hilger Community north of Dodd City, now lives in the Texas Panhandle town of Childress. “This film is a real labor of love,” he says. “Over the years, Bubba and I spent so much time on the creek hunting, fishing, and exploring — chronicling the bottomlands before it is lost to a lake just made sense.”
William Graves, who lives just a few hundred yards from where the two grew up, sees the changes to the creek on almost a daily basis. “The lake [Lower Bois d’Arc Creek Reservoir] project seems to be accelerating so fast,” says the older of the Graves brothers, “we knew we’d better film the creek bottom while some of the old places are still left.”
The film is a part of a larger, multimedia project that includes a recent cover story in Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine, a gallery of still images, and the film which includes elements of video, still images, narration, and personal interviews. Russell is a professional commercial and editorial photographer and book author whose work is featured in magazines and ad campaigns nationwide, while William is a professional videographer who has worked with nationally broadcast television shows.
