The Science and Natural History Filmmaking Program will partner with the Montana EPSCoR Program to create film content for state and national audiences in science and technology with an emphasis on the 07-10 research focus areas. The Master of Fine Arts Program in Science and Natural History Filmmaking at MSU is the first program of its kind. The program’s mission is to provide new generations of filmmakers with formal education and experience in science, engineering, or technology expertise to produce accurate and interesting programs that advance the public understanding of science. Students in the program have their work broadcast in many major venues such as: The Discovery Channel, National Geographic, The Science Channel, CNN, Sixty Minutes II, Larry King, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News. In partnership with Montana PBS, participating students have used the new Internet technology of webcasting, also called video podcasting or vodcasts, to post nature films about local, national and international environmental issues on the World Wide Web. The film series, hosting topics as diverse as grizzly bears and Mars, is called "TERRA: The Nature of Our World." The films can be accessed at the TERRA website (http://www.lifeonterra.com/), and the program is currently developing innovative TERRA–like productions specifically for a K-12 audience. The Montana NSF EPSCoR Program will support (through graduate student fellowships), production of films about the 07-10 research focus areas.
