¶ ‘In a film, each frame should be a masterpiece. That’s why I look for the beauty all around me.’

Early beginnings of Haylie Sunshine
John Denver and Three Dog Night floated around my childhood home through the 2000s, bumping my little hips back and forth while I head-banged with Dad, the horrific green carpet our backdrop. The treasured cassette stereo worked day in and out to keep up, while the boxy TV gathered dust a few inches to the left.
I grew up living a life that didn’t need television. It was better than anything you would see on screen: grandiose mountains of Glacier National Park rose above my backyard, an escaped elephant from the local circus at the backdoor, daily adventures with my grandparents, and riding horses bareback through the woods hardly left time for sitting inside.
