In 2005, Stephen and Sandy Bowes embarked on a dream.  A dream to make a movie.  When they started the journey, they had little idea the complexities it would entail.  They were fortunate to find an excellent director - Allison Wilmarth and an outstanding cinematographer - Ioana Vasile.  The other pieces all came together with a  mix of amateurs and professionals performing and crewing on the movie.  It was filmed over a 7 week period in the summer of '05 bringing to life a script that Sandy had created over a period of about a year and a half and is partly based on experiences they had while living on the farm.  A tremendous musical soundtrack by Rob Pottorf completed the film in late 2007 and the movie was done.  "A Thousand Hills" is the story of a boy trying to save the family farm using his gift of singing.  It is the feel good 'farm' movie of the year for sure, and being enjoyed by all ages.
