A Line in the Sand

The director of Mountainfilm on Tour from 2006 to 2011, Justin Clifton now devotes his talents to making films with the specific aim of helping environmental and social justice organizations tell their stories. A Line in the Sand is one of three short films done in collaboration with The Grand Canyon Trust, aimed at raising public support for protection of threatened parts of Canyonlands. Co-directed by Clifton and Chris Cresci, A Line in the Sand is a spirited call to arms, illustrating some of Edward Abbey’s most inspiring and passionate language with beautiful 3-D animation.
