More Than Just Parks is an organization and film project with the goal of encouraging the exploration and conservation of national parks through short films.[1] The project was founded by filmmakers and brothers Jim Pattiz and Will Pattiz from Georgia.[2] The brothers use a combination of time lapse photography and video to create their films,[3] which have received critical acclaim.[4][5][6][7] The project has thus far resulted in short films on 10 national parks, with an aim of filming all 59 US national parks.[8] The Pattiz brothers frequently appear on The Weather Channel's morning programs Weekend Recharge and AMHQ to share insight from different national parks.[9][10][11]
History[edit]
After being wowed by Arizona’s Petrified Forest national park in 2012, the Pattiz brothers set out to produce free documentaries on all 59 national parks in the U.S.[12] The project's first film was completed in the summer of 2014 and showcased the beauty of Olympic National Park.[13] Since then the Pattiz brothers have completed films on various other national parks, and in 2016 brought worldwide fame to little known Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota.[14][15][16]
Style[edit]
More Than Just Parks uses a combination of time lapse photography and more traditional videography to make its short films.[17] With only music accompanying the scenery, the films have a unique style Outside Magazine has called "straight-up nature porn".[18]
