Founded non-profit initiative that establishes, promotes, and nurtures the process of documentary filmmaking as a therapeutic tool for health and wellness. The idea is that filming a person during a health crisis-- such as a cancer diagnosis-- can have cathartic and empowering results, making the subject feel seen, heard, and validated. In addition, an uprooting diagnosis has the potential to unearth wisdom and clarity about one's life, and we are passionate about capturing this moment with intention, and sharing it with others, participating in the interconnectedness of all beings.
