Interesting facts

Idaho Transfer is a 1973 science fiction film directed by Peter Fonda. It stars Kelley Bohanon, Kevin Hearst, Dale Hopkins, and Keith Carradine.

Production

The film was produced by Peter Fonda's Pando Company, in association with

Marrianne Santas; it was copyrighted to Kathleen Film Production Company in 1973.

The $500,000 film was self-financed by Fonda and starred mostly non-professional actors. Principal shooting took place in Arco, Idaho, Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, and Bruneau Sand Dunes State Park. Castmember Earl Crabb also cites Bellevue, Idaho as a location. The film was shot after Fonda had finished directing The Hired Hand (1971) in August 1971.

The end credits conclude with the Latin phrase "Esto Perpetua". Translated, it means "Let it be perpetual" or "It is forever"; appropriate for a time travel film, it is also the motto of the state of Idaho.

Fonda also produced a documentary about the making of the film.
