We’re releasing a new film every two weeks. At the bottom of this page you can see when the next release takes place. In addition we’re doing an interview series with author Charles Eisenstein from which we’re making a new episode available every Sunday.

Campfire Stories is a platform for film that wants to find and affect the root cause of our global issues, instead of just pointing out the symptoms.

On Fear (11 mins)

This was the first film I made specifically for Campfire Stories – a platform for film that wants to dig at the roots of what we need to change, in order to reimagine a world of ecological balance and human sanity. So, where to begin? Which needle of which haystack to pull out first?

This film kind of made itself, through me. I didn’t really know where it was going until it had already arrived. There was a bigger intelligence at work than the one situated between my ears, and I think it did a pretty good job.

It decided to begin with possibly the biggest obstacle to change: Fear. And it decided I would tell not of other people’s fears, but of my own.

A bird falls dead at my feet. Death invades my thoughts. An image of me on my own death bed. What might I be thinking as I’m laying there? There you have it, the starting point of the story.

This is probably the slowest paced film I’ve ever made, and I know it can be hard sometimes to follow a slow story. But some slow stories have deeper echoes than their more efficiant counterparts. I think this is one of those.
