Bloc Power: bringing green jobs and green energy to underserved communities

I was thrilled to work with producer Jamila Paksima on a series of videos for BlocPower, a company that brings job training, job opportunities and green energy solutions to underserved communities in Brooklyn and beyond. These are just 2 of the videos highlighting aspects of BlocPower's work:

Friends of the Wissahickon

 

This video produced for Friends of the Wissahickon [FOW] by my collective, Hidden River Films – highlights the benefits of maintaining the Wissahickon Creek park, and FOW's efforts to involve the community. FOW plans to expand its junior stewardship program, and this video is meant as a fund-raising tool for that upcoming project.

Endless Pools: Kozera family

I worked on a series of promotional videos for the company Endless Pools, produced by Mangrove Media, highlighting the Kozera family and the many surprising ways having an Endless Pools pool at their home has enhanced their lives. Their story is pretty awe-inspiring.

FLAX

This meditative video, shot by cinematographer James Wasserman, is a portrait of an innovative project to grow flax in Pennsylvania, with the end goal of creating hand-made linen as a sustainable, local, collaborative small industry.  In summer of 2020, textile artist Heidi Barr and farmer Emma Cunniff seeded a test patch on Emma's farm to see how well it would grow.  See for yourself!  (And get ready to feel blissed out by the gorgeous imagery...)
