Jim Dutcher

Jim Dutcher began producing documentary films in the 1960s. His early adventures with a camera were spent underwater, part of a Florida coast childhood. Jim's intense personal involvement with the details of his subjects' lives and his eye for the beauty of the natural world have placed his work in a category all its own. The Dutchers live in Ketchum, Idaho, in a log home at the edge of a wild pond, with ducks, flying squirrels, elk, deer, owls, coyotes and a mischievous black bear for neighbors.
