LONE PINE FILM FESTIVAL PREMIERE
The Gypsy Cowman…A Vanishing Breed
The Story of Owen Badgett and Eastern Montana
October 9, 2009 − Lone Pine, CA
Producer Linda Lou Crosby’s documentary tells the tale of Badgett, who, like his father before him, runs his herd of cattle on land he does not own. Owen’s stories take you to a place where neighbor helps neighbor, a person’s word is his bond, where love of land underlies it all. According to the Lone Pine Film Festival, where the Badgett documentary premiered, “Owen Badgett, a third generation Eastern Montanan with three books of poetry and stories to his credit, is about as cowboy as they come; tough as nails and no-frills but with a heart of gold.”
