Cameron was an all-star producer and videographer. We had a very long two-day shoot that required a lot of field producing, risk, travel, and thinking on your feet -- and he handled it all with professionalism and a positive attitude. The shots he captured were fantastic, and the quality of his interviews were also superb. We had an exceptional experience working with Cameron and hope to have another chance to collaborate in the future!

Nearly 90% of the country’s honeybees are needed to pollinate California’s almond trees. That means beekeepers travel from all over the U.S. to rent their bees to almond growers during pollination season. But honeybee colonies are dying at record rates, meaning these beekeepers are forced to work even harder.
Davi Mühlinghaus-Anderson shares their experience of being gender nonbinary.
Rewilding Honeybees analyzes our current relationship with honeybees and calls for a radical shift in beekeeping. In the United States, beekeepers are losing 45% of their hives annually, but these losses are not happening in the wild. This film tells the story of a revolutionary beekeeper’s vision to restore honeybees' natural ways of living. This could be a solution to saving honeybees.
'The Good of the Hive' is a film about saving the world through art and playfulness. It shows a glimpse into the work of Matthew Willey, painting 50,000 honeybees in murals around the world. The film focuses on a mural at Janney Elementary School in Washington D.C., where a 7-year-old girl’s letter creates an opportunity for her community to unite around the preservation of pollinators.
As wildfires in Sonoma County become increasingly devastating, a growing group of people look towards traditional Native American practices and perspectives for living in harmony with natural elements. Indigenous tribes, lease holders, and fire fighters are coming together to steward the land with fire, setting intentional prescribed burns in order to promote healthy landscapes and reduce the devastation caused by wildfires in California.
