Films for a more sane civilization.
I am a visual storyteller aware of the strange, complex, “time between worlds” we are living through. I have a talent and passion for helping people, organizations and initiatives working in the space of systems change and cultural transformation — bringing forward an ecological civilization, a more convivial world-space broadly speaking. If that’s you, I can help you develop a potent visual narrative that transmits the good, true and beautiful you are helping bring into the world — be it a book, an idea, a project, a product, a business, a vision, a song.

I am also independently creating new short films cut from long form interviews under the channel called In The Making. Subscribe to my newsletter (below) to receive the films in your inbox.

Bonnie is back. In this film she goes into deep nuances on what wisdom is and how we can cultivate it in our lives.
“One world is now gone and a new one has yet to emerge; we are now at the beginning of the beginning. We are living in the liminal: a time of pure potential and change, a time between worlds. This is it: we have arrived at the end of the world. Finally. Now we can start to build a new one.”
