About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the country, making a documentary, in search of people who are actively changing the world around them from the better.

ABOUT ME

I'm traveling across the country for six months, living in a van, making short movies that capture the spirit of change that has swept across our country in the last year. The goal of this project is to provide potential ways we can immediately work to turn the world around by showing as many innovative social projects that are already being done. I like to think of it as the antidote to the effects of "Fahrenheit 911" or other documentaries that show the problems but ignore the solutions.

PHILOSOPHY

Openness is really the centerpiece of my belief. The more we look for ways to incorporate all thought, belief, scientific understanding, spiritual discipline, and general outlook the better we will be. I also feel very strongly that we manifest our future constantly and the more presence of mind we bring to our choices and actions the more our future will look the way we hope
