Postcards from Paradise is a 14 minute proposal for a full length documentary that seeks to examine the employee housing crisis in the resort town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  The problem of low income housing is a problem faced by ski communities all over, especially here in Crested Butte.  The amount of houses are limited, and renting residents are being forced to move when their homes are bought by second homeowners.  One look out Oh-be-Joyful in the summer shows that this problem is very real in the valley.
