Caves: Life Beneath the Forest Premier in Bloomington, Indiana at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater

The Buskirk-Chumley Theater in Bloomington, Indiana had a premiere of an underground movie about Caves in Indiana. This had never been done before. It is about a documentary film about "Caves: Life beneath the Forest." With the effect of the Hoosier National Forest, and the IKC and McGowan and his Chicago-based Ravenswood Media Company, this film was then screened for the first time on March 23, 2007. They had various other activities that were planned for this event as well. For the children it included games and also hands on activities, like exploring an artificial cave and even seeing bats up close and personal, all live. They also had a few guests' speakers who did address the topics that are in the areas of after and before the screening of this 30 minute documentary and will also include the filmmaker and some of the cave scientist.

This film was at one time conceived as a DVD; make it the project that began only with McGowan filming the singular cave creatures and biology that exists in a land that stretched from Putnam County through Bloomington and around Bedford, Indiana, all the way to the Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. It was never thought of as a public screening. During the two years McGowan put up cave, footage and also interviews on their Web site www.cavebiota.com, the biologists and the cave enthusiasts far around the 38 countries have also linked to this Indiana centered site. Even in Chicago, Illinois the Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium has approached Mr. McGowan on making a presentation at their facilities. There are so many biologies and geology, plus hydrology, even paleontology and further on. They are all interrelated and it all comes together in the caving systems.
