Montana seems to have an unusually high concentration of makers. Maybe it's a function of the beauty of the Last Best Place that inspires people to create. Or perhaps it's the distinctiveness of the incredible place of Montana that attracts a special type of people, largely people that invest, engage and form meaningful connections with each other and together strengthen our communities by contributing to the local economies and collaboratively making wonderful things. Place + People.
The Montana Television Network (MTN) recently re-launched the Under The Big Sky brand in part to feature the incredible depth of talented makers in the state. Focusing on first-person storytelling, MTN has created the new show to highlight the people, places and organizations that continue to make Montana a strong and dynamic community, and pave the way for the future while embracing and celebrating the past.
The first episode tells the “rest of the story” behind three distinct Montana icons: Wheat Montana Farms & Bakery, Headframe Spirits and Manufacturing and Red Ants Pants.
