The Last Bateau

In the quiet woods of East Texas, producer Brittani Mathis uncovers a wooden bateau built by her great-grandfather, Wyatt Moore, and a box of cassette tapes where his voice still lingers. Nearly fifty years after he recorded them, she returns to Caddo Lake to restore the last bateau he built. In doing so, she reconnects with the craft, memory, and lineage that shaped then both. Anchored around archival audio and quiet observation, this lyrical documentary moves like memory.
