Warrior Storyfield
What began as independent metal work in one guy’s backyard a dozen years ago, has morphed into a monumental collaborative art project, known as Warrior Storyfield.
Financing a documentary is not easy.
But it’s important.
We’re counting on those who believe in art, who believe in Veterans and their families, and who believe in education, so we can all learn what coming home from war really looks like.
In addition to independent and corporate sponsors, we’re busy applying for grants that seek to fund projects like ours. But those take time, and this story is unfolding now.
With your generous pledges, we can move forward with our fundraising campaign. Once we prove there is backing, we’ll be awarded a fiscal sponsorship from a 501c organization. At that point, we’ll be back in touch to collect your tax-deductible donation.
Much like the story itself, this is a collaborative, filmmaking effort.
Based in Boulder County, Colorado, Warrior Storyfield embodies two 20-foot metal sculptures, a dragon and a phoenix. It also holds a sacred space for connection, conversation and expression beyond words. The stories that have been hammered into the creatures speak to the complex and often, unspeakable, passage from civilian to warrior and back again.
But after 12 years and contributions from hundreds of artists, veterans and civilians, Warrior Storyfield faces a critical juncture. Artist Robert Bellows, who has been at its center since the beginning, is now ready to wind down his involvement and facilitate the relocation of the sculptures from his property to a new permanent home. This has prompted valuable reflection on what it has meant to those involved and how the wisdom of the Warrior Storyfield “experience” can be maintained with integrity as it is shared with a wider audience.
