, however, captures three distinguished paleontologists on a unique journey of discovery through Arizona�s Petrified Forest National Park. Chicago filmmaker Jay Meyers follows Robin L. Whatley, PhD, Columbia College Chicago; Bill Amaral, micro-preparator, retired from Harvard University; and Anna K. Behrensmeyer, PhD, research curator from the National Museum of Natural History and others through the Painted Desert�s ancient channels now filled with sediment and atop its highest ridges. There they find 37 new fossil sites - some as old as 208 million years. To capture the stories of personal and paleontological discovery, Meyers uses split screen shots and �keyhole� frames that allow viewers to feel as if they�re discovering something special alongside the film�s subjects. This isn�t just a movie for paleontologists. It�s a film for anyone stepping outside their comfort zone to find clues to the life they�re living - while learning more about themselves along the way.
