This film is a collaboration with Lucky 8. It is a unique combination of my extensive archive of photographs, videos, Todd Wilkinson’s writings and interviews featuring numerous people including myself who share a deep affection for Grizzly 399.

Thank you for your support of 399: Queen of the Tetons. The sold out showing at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival is just the beginning. The producers of the film have assured me it will be shown at more film festivals and special screenings in the future.

Stay tuned for updates and keep following @399film.

A LIFE IN THE WILD is an exhibition containing 40 Mangelsen Legacy Reserve Edition photographs. These are his most resonant images—images that take viewers on a journey into the haunts of iconic species whose struggles for survival are metaphorical fulcrums for reflection in the 21st century.
