The Steam - Director's Cut

In the shadow of Yosemite National Park, the youngest and oldest crew members of a historic steam railroad reflect on their passion for their craft and its future in an uncertain world. This documentary is an extended director's cut of a film created for the 2020 "Big Tell" grant program, sponsored by the Central Valley Community Foundation and the James B. McClatchy Foundation. A shorter version debuted in October 2020. Many thanks to the management and staff of the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad for helping to make this project possible.
