‘Barbara Van Cleve’s American West’ illuminates the history, life, and land in the American West through personal accounts of generations within the Van Cleve family. Barbara Van Cleve has spent her life documenting the beauty of the West through a camera lens. This film allows her the opportunity to express the raw experience of ranch life in words. Her story offers an unrepeatable view of the American West that she has lived and captured for decades. By award-winning Director and Cinematographer, Cynthia Matty-Huber of CR Matty Films is working alongside Barbara to paint a detailed picture of the West. We hope to achieve this through narrative, photography, and never before seen historical footage of ranch life in Montana.
