I met General Clark and his son Wes Jr. while filming Living In the Future’s Past, then met the General again at a speaking engagement two years later and the kernel of a film planted itself in my mind – a conversation between a father and son on how climate change will affect our financial system. It seemed logical to follow up to the introspective Living In The Future’s Past with a nuts and bolts view of how the machinery of our money system contributes and reacts to climat...

During the Mammoth Lakes Film Festival, I had the unforgettable unique experience of spicing my film viewing up with half a day of rock climbing at Horseshoe Lake with the incredible guide and MLFF sponsor Clay Tyson (Ground Up Climbing Guides, Skin Up Ski Tours). I had met him the night before at a networking event where he convinced me to join him the next day for a climb. I was terrified at first, as I had never gone rock climbing before. But somehow the next morning, hangover and all, I ma...

Following on from our recent very successful feature documentary, MAMIL: Middle Aged Men in Lycra (2017), we were searching for a new idea for a documentary. One of the key components of MAMIL’s success was having the legendary Phil Liggett provide the narration.
After travelling to London to record the narration, we were impressed by Phil’s presence and the stories he told us. Tentatively, we pitched the idea to Ph...
