WHY FILMMAKING

At A New Vision of Living Foundation, we are on a mission to propel a new vision of living anchored in peaceful, just, and regenerative living in balance with the web of life. We know that how we live is a manifestation of the stories we tell and believe.

Stories are therefore a solution that can ignite action and drive the positive change that we need.

We must thus replace the bleak and doomsday narratives that dominate popular media, with hope-filled stories and images of the more beautiful way of being that we all know is possible.

 

Stories can shift culture, drive innovation, spark dialogue and imagination, heal communities, and bring hope.

Stories are an antidote to despair.
— Conor Schloser, Robert Redford’s grandson, and Redford Center Board Member, at Sundance Film Festival 2024

DOCUMENTARY & AFFILIATED IMPACT PROGRAMMING

LISTEN is a documentary film we are proud to share as our first program in the filmmaking space. It is inspired by a message heard by Kimberly Pinkson while on Vision Quest in the spring of 2023:

“I have all the answers you need. You just need to listen to me more.”

— Mother Nature

The LISTEN film reveals how, in an era of unprecedented challenge, Nature’s brilliant designs and principles can provide a road map to transformative solutions. LISTEN unveils the captivating stories of those who tune into this 3.7-billion-year-old wisdom, and inspires us to follow their lead to more joyful, rewarding, and balanced life on Earth.

LISTEN Impact Programming includes nature re-connection experiences such as Listening Walks and Vision Quest rites of passages.
