Early Praise
“’Split Estate’ is an eye-opening examination of the consequences and conflicts that can arise between surface land owners in the western United States, and those who own and extract the energy and mineral rights below. This film is of value to anyone wrestling with rational, sustainable energy policy while preserving the priceless elements of cultural heritage, private enterprise above-ground, and the precious health not only of people but the land itself.”
Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico "
You tell an important and compelling story. You have captured brilliantly the issues and are helping tell the story that needs to be spread to a much broader audience."
Gwen Lachelt, Executive DIrector, The Oil and Gas Accountability Project"
I urge our elected leaders-- especially those who make decisions about energy development and environmental health in the Rocky Mountain West-- to confront and tackle the critical issues raised in this film."
Sandy Buffett, Executive Director, Conservation Voters New Mexico
"'Split Estate' is a must-see film for any elected official who deals with natural resources issues and the impact that oil & gas extraction can have on a community. Anyone who sees the film will be changed by the experience - for the better."
Brian Egolf, New Mexico State Representative
