Join Leica and renowned Western big-game hunter and aspiring filmmaker, Mark Seacat, in an epic hunting film like no other. “Searching for West” transports viewers to dramatic mountain vistas and snow-covered timber with breathtaking footage displaying the intensity, passion and solace of the hunt. With its beautiful, mood-evoking cinematography, “Searching for West” sets a new standard in cinema aesthetics for hunting films. View the “Searching for West” movie on the Leica Hunting page on Facebook. To get behind the scenes, read Leica’s interview with Mark Seacat.
“Searching for West” was born out of a time when Seacat was enjoying a great career as an outdoorsman and when his son, West, came into his family. He began contemplating how he could serve both to the best of his ability.
“This movie is as raw as it can get,” Seacat says. “It shows an emotional story about a man’s journey from hunting all over the world – many days a year – to someone who’s hunting close to his home, focusing on being home and being a father, a husband, a hunter. I feel like almost every hunter can relate to our story.”
