The Bozeman Film Society is screening the film, God’s Country, based on Montana author, James Lee Burke’s short story, Winter Light, as interpreted by filmmaker, Julian Higgins. It is being shown at the Ellen Theater on October 19, 2022.

Julian Higgins directed a short film, based on Winter Light, of that same name in 2015. It followed closely the characters and action of Burke’s short story.
This full length film, God’s Country, is shot entirely in Montana with half of the production team Montana based. His first feature length narrative film, it expands Burke’s story and explores even more contemporary issues as a response to the repercussions of the 2016 election.
