Recent Film projects
My latest film projects highlight a commitment to blending storytelling with a core focus on regenerative futures. These projects support my 2024 vision: to create and collaborate on storytelling projects that inspire action, ignite a desire for change, and leave a lasting imprint on the heart and mind. Each project is a step towards a future where media and technology serve as tools for positive environmental and social impact, resonating with audiences worldwide and encouraging a shift towards more sustainable and regenerative ways of living.
Academic Research
At the heart of my current academic journey is the exploration of how creative practitioners can take more active roles in driving science and envisioning regenerative futures. My research extends beyond traditional academic confines, embracing the creative process and my interwoven life experiences as a vital component of scholarly inquiry. I am curious to understand the nuances of narrative creation in various contexts and how these narratives can drive scientific understanding (including ‘modern’ and indigenous sciences) and envision regenerative future possibilities.
Floating Stories Lab
Fueled by curiosity, our love of discovery, nature, creativity, and concerns for the current trajectory of humanity, we're gearing up for our most ambitious adventure yet – to BUILD our own Wharram Designs Narai Mk IV wooden double canoe/sailboat, creating a Floating Stories Lab and departing northern Europe as a family on a circumnavigation to discover, through science, art and storytelling, how humans can have a positive impact on our planet. We share our journey and research findings through inspiring stories.
