6 Feet Separated.
6 Degrees Connected.
Closer Than Ever.
Though we are 6 ft apart, we only have 6 degrees of separation from the other 7.6 billion people with whom we share the planet.
For the first time in living history, the entire global community is united. Our interconnectedness is no longer in doubt.
Our craving for togetherness is a call to action. Many people, from doctors to delivery drivers are keeping our world running. We can make our contribution as filmmakers by creating impactful films that provide some healing catharsis as we emerge from crisis.
There is a new recognition of the importance of international unity. Let us join this paradigm shift.

“We sense that ‘normal’ isn’t coming back, that we are being born into a new normal: a new kind of society, a new relationship to the earth, a new experience of being human.”
― Charles Eisenstein
