The Fishman Short Film (2009)
Watch the short film The Fishman. Quirky sound recordist and Montana local, Mike Kasic, has an unmatched obsession for the underwater wilderness of the Yellowstone River. In this 10-minute short, Mike tells the tale of the river with the help of his wetsuit and fins. He swims the Yellowstone like a human-fish through swift river canyons and scenic mountain views, watching trout in fast currents filled with frothing water tornadoes, stopping only to body surf river waves. His message is simple: a river is more than its water; what lies beneath is a wilderness that is often overlooked, but critical for the Yellowstone ecosystem to thrive.
