Joe Foss - In the winter of 2022 At 74, I knew it was time to act on a vision I had nurtured for over 20 years—the untold story of the Columbia River Jetty System. Realizing this project was beyond what I could accomplish alone, I built a dedicated team.
In early 2022, I connected with historian Gary Kobes and later enlisted my longtime friend Jeff Holt, an amateur videographer and storyteller. Together, we embarked on this ambitious journey, driven by passion, not profit, to bring this story to film for the first time.
Our efforts led us to uncover invaluable resources, refine our narrative, and gain enthusiastic support. Now, Taming the Mouth is in the skilled hands of Resonance Productions, set for completion in 2025. Our commitment remains unwavering—we believe this story deserves to be told.
