INHABITANTS: INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES ON RESTORING OUR WORLD (2021) follows five Native American Tribes across deserts, coastlines, forests, and prairies as they restore their traditional land management practices. For millennia Native Americans successfully stewarded and shaped their landscapes, but centuries of colonization have disrupted their ability to maintain traditional land management practices. From deserts, coastlines, forests, mountains, and prairies, Native communities are restoring their ancient relationships with the land. As the climate crisis escalates these time-tested practices of North America's original inhabitants are becoming increasingly essential in a rapidly changing world.

INHABIT: A PERMACULTURE PERSPECTIVE (2015) explores the many environmental issues facing us today and examines solutions that are being applied using the ecological design process called Permaculture. Permaculture is a design lens that uses the principles found in ecosystems to help shift our impact from destructive to regenerative. Focused mostly on the Northeastern and Midwestern regions of the United States, Inhabit provides an intimate look at permaculture peoples and practices ranging from rural, suburban, and urban landscapes.

“In true permaculture style, the film takes the problem, humanity, and shows how we can not just reduce our foot-prints but actually make them beneficial. Inhabit is simply the best film I have seen about permaculture. ”
