How are you, friends? I hope you are healthy and safe in these turbulent times.
Amidst the ever-present unknowing of these strange long days, I've been diving deep ...
Into the final stages of production on my film, into my writing, and into dreams of brighter days ahead. We must remember that there is a future beyond all of "this", and that we get to build it, together.
First things first, my darlings... I have an exciting announcement! (Especially if you are looking forward to 2021 as much as I am). As a final fundraising push to get this film across the finish line, you can now have your very own "Where There Once Was Water" 2021 Calendar. I have curated 12 favorite images from the project, and for a minimum $30 donation, I’ll ship a custom calendar straight to your door (with a personalized love note included of course). Calendars are a standard 8.5 x 11 inches closed, so double that when open (and would make great Christmas gifts for your friends, *wink wink*).
Head to WhereThereOnceWasWater.com to donate/order your copy. This will be a VERY limited print run, so hurry on over and donate TODAY to secure your copy. Thank you all for your continued love and support on this long-lived and long-loved project. I genuinely couldn’t do this without you!
The past month has been a busy one. Media outreach is amplifying as the film nears completion, and after a 5+ year gestation period, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that these are exciting times indeed. I was asked to write an article for the Fall 2020 Issue of EdibleSLO magazine about water issues in California, and the larger, more complex water / climate / agriculture puzzle through which we find ourselves wading. You can get your eyes, and maybe even your hands, on a copy, over at EdibleSanLuisObispo.com
I had a super fun chat with author Julie K. Rose on her podcast "Love What You Love". We talk about filmmaking, semester at sea, bicycling across the United States, living off-grid, and so much more. You can listen in on her website at LoveWhatYouLovePod.com
For another uplifting conversation in an overwhelming time, check out this fun convo with Christy Wilhelmi of Gardenerd. We chatted about the film, my decision to move off-grid, and about our human connection to water. You can listen in on her website at Gardenerd.com
Last but definitely not least, please watch (and share!) our OFFICIAL TRAILER. And until next time, much love to you all. Thank you for your continued support, patience and feedback. I literally couldn't be doing this without you.
