It is with immense joy that I share the great news that Montana Grind (@montanagrind) has been selected for the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival 2026! @bigskydocfest

Besides being the largest and most important premiere festival for documentary films in the American West, it also qualifies for the Oscars, which makes this participation even more special.

The festival will take place from February 13th to 22nd in Missoula, Montana.

You can check out all the selected feature and short films at www.bigskyfilmfest.org and also purchase tickets for in-person or online screenings.

Montana Grind is a documentary about skateparks that build community in Montana, giving purpose and healing young people from Native American reservations to Small Towns.

The soundtrack was composed by Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam), @montanapoolservice , who also contributed greatly to making this film possible in many ways.

A special thank you to the Montana Skatepark Association @mtskateparkassociation and the entire Montana community that made this incredible scene possible.

And to all the great friends I’ve made along this journey, since 2014: you know who you are! 

Much love to everyone that contributed to the film. There’s still more to come!
