Stone River

With his thick glasses, duct-taped gloves, worn-out boot toes and ursine bearing, Jon Piasecki may not immediately impress you as someone who can change the world. But watch as he waltzes hefty slabs of flagstone through the woods and connects them meticulously into a pathway that melds seamlessly with its surroundings, and you will likely credit him with having earth-shaking power and down-to-earth wisdom. Hal Clifford (executive editor of Orion magazine and former Telluride resident) and Jason Houston (2009 Mountainfilm gallery artist) created this thoughtful film. —PK
