Now Playing on MediaStorm: Hungry Horse by Pieter ten Hoopen

Post author:Cortney Cleveland
Post published:November 3, 2014

We are pleased to launch Hungry Horse, a film and photography project created by internationally acclaimed photographer Pieter ten Hoopen in collaboration with MediaStorm based on over ten years of work in a small Montana town. In the film, Pieter touches on the struggles of poverty, drug use and loss. But he more accurately captures the spirit of renewal, peace and serenity in the lives of the people he documents through stunning landscapes and intimate oral histories. Hungry Horse follows the mythical structure of its subjects’ lives, Charly, Brad Lee, and Katie, and it is through their stories, and Pieter's powerful imagery that we learn about the timeless cycle of adventure, loss and renewal.
