Films That Reach Your Soul
Why stories on screen can spark change / Catch us this Sunday in Red Bank.
Dear Friends,
I believe a single film can reach your soul like nothing else can. When filmmakers dedicate their craft to stories that shift how we think and live, I see it as a tremendous gift and responsibility.
This Sunday, I’ll be in the adorable town of Red Bank, NJ speaking on the panel Filmmaking for Good, part of the programming curated by our friends at the Indie Street Film Festival.
Two lovely films will be showing that day:
🎬 A Vital Sun by Alison Bartlett (Tribeca Environmental Impact Award winner): the remarkable story of transforming barren Egyptian desert into thriving biodynamic farmland. Alison joins our panel too. A Vital Sun will also be part of Ceres Season 9!
🎬 Farming While Black by Mark Decena: A favorite from our Ceres season last year, this powerful documentary examines Black farmers reclaiming their rightful place on the land.
