https://www.youtube.com/ With our new project "Backyard Wilderness," we are exploring the cycles of nature in our very own backyard. This large format digital film will follow the daily dramas of common animals - like the blue jay, field mouse, wood duck, raccoon and tiger swallowtail butterfly - juxtaposed w

ith the activities of nearby humans more concerned with their computer screens, mobile devices, and the endless pursuit of money and status. The film will tell the story of our disconnect with nature, with the aim of inspiring a new and transformative connection. We have recently completed a documentary, "Disturbing the Peace," which follows a group called Combatants for Peace, founded by former Israeli and Palestinian combatants who have laid down their weapons and embraced non-violent activism to end the conflict in the Middle East. The film focuses on a handful of members from both sides, and traces their transformational journeys from soldiers committed to armed confrontation to non-violent peace activists. We are also developing a number of other projects including JULIE OF THE WOLVES, a fiction film set in the Arctic based on Jean Craighead George's classic book.
