MADNESS! A year has passed since we launched 'The Hundred Miler' to the world. Our first ever documentary, we screened the film virtually in Lockdown 1.0 and met with friends, family and fans viewing from around the world...
.
Back when George had the idea to follow the story of @patmacyep @runnaman and @runtodrinkbeer in Sydney as they embarked upon the 'holy grail of ultra marathons', we had no idea what the project would grow to become. Fast forward to 2019 and we were filming in Mont Blanc as a video team of two in some gruelling conditions, but having an unforgettable experience too. ⛰️⛈️🎥
.
Since its release, the film has amassed almost a quarter million views and was screened at the International Festival of Mountain Films. But perhaps the thing we're proudest of is when people tell us that The Hundred Miler and the story of these three guys' companionship and perseverance has encouraged them to do something, to take on a challenge, and to simply go out and run.🏃🏃‍♂️🏃

You can almost hear the sigh of relief as warmer days arrive here in the UK and summer rears its welcome head after a long and lonely winter! 🌻😎

Memories of shooting one of our first videos last year in a Valencian vineyard with @valtournative - we'll be filming more like this in the British countryside in months to come 👀.

Talking to Simon Mair was one of the most inspiring and optimistic conversations we had last year. While the pandemic has brought the economy to a standstill, it's also revealed the importance of other realms of economic provisioning, including the state, the household and the commons.

Excerpt from our latest video about 'Ecological Economics'.

Across all kinds of environmental categories, never-ending GROWTH is just a terrible idea.
.
This simple concept is the central tenet of so much of what we'd been reading about economics - from Kate Raworth's 'Doughnut Economics', to Charles Eisenstein's 'Sacred Economics' and the writings of George Monbiot too.
.
We spoke to Simon Mair about growth in our latest video, which has just had its one-week birthday over on YouTube... Link in bio if you'd like to see the full thing 👀

What does a more just and equitable future look like? One where we recognise that there are many different kinds of value, and value creation too. As #KateRaworth explains in @doughnuteconomics we often focus on the market, and forget about the state, the household and the commons.
.
It's great to see this message from our video 'Ecological Economics' being shared, and starting off some much-needed conversations.

What has the video got you thinking about?

Our latest video 'Ecological Economics' is now live!...
A huge thanks to Economist Simon Mair for speaking to us and writing the article which inspired the whole video project. And of course thanks to Kate Raworth from @doughnuteconomics whose ideas have no doubt influenced so many.
.
Finally, a huge thanks to everyone who has watched and shared the video so far.
.
We created this video not because we have answers, but because we want to amplify the conversation about our collective economic future. Covid-19 has brought our economy to a standstill, and made us realise some fundamental truths about how relying on market forces alone totally fails us. Families shouldn't be going hungry or worrying about rent, and it's our current system that makes those things happen.
.
George and I believe the economic system should work for the many, not the few, and work for the planet too. It's time to shift the narrative around what we value, explore new ways of producing and exchanging, and build our imagination - together.
.
This short excerpt should give you an insight into what the video's about, but if you want to watch the full thing, head over to our YouTube channel (the link is also in our bio).
.
Here's to a better economic future. 🌱💸🤸‍♀️🌳🌍🤝

"Those connections between us as individuals and the broader systems aren't always easy to see, and I think that's the reason why so many of us switch off when we even hear the word ECONOMICS"
.
Join us this SUNDAY for the launch of our latest video exploring Ecological Economics. It's a new venture for us, a ten-minute animated/educational video that we felt compelled to make in order to open up conversations about alternative futures, and what Covid-19 has revealed about our fragile econony. It features the brilliant economist #SimonMair as well as ideas from @doughnuteconomics exploring topics such as growth, value, resilience and mutual aid.
.
After crafting this video for almost a year, please join us for the live premiere Sunday 7th March at 11am GMT (LINK IN BIO 😁)

The world is full of stories. The challenge is finding them, listening to them, and telling them as they deserve to be told.

Life in lockdown has got us reflecting on past projects like this one, the story of @thefoundationsportland in Australia.

How do you tell a story through cinematic imagery and minimal text? That's the challenge we gave ourself when crafting our latest video for @lapinadalab - the emergence of an innovative wooden structure set in the forests of Cuenca and a workshop near Alicante.
