Rent or Buy "Where There Once Was Water”

big news!

The dream for any filmmaker, ultimately, is for their film to be seen. This dream is now coming true in a biiiiig way for WHERE THERE ONCE WAS WATER. I am thrilled to finally share the news that’s had me bursting at my seams …. (insert long-awaited drumroll here) ….

… WE HAVE A DISTRIBUTOR! … (omg, y’all). WHERE THERE ONCE WAS WATER has secured educational distribution through a really-totally-couldn’t-be-more-perfect partnership with EPF Media.

“EPF Media is a distributor and producer of innovative documentaries from around the world that educate and raise awareness of social issues, cultures and the arts.  EPF Media is committed to releasing films that inspire people and bring positive change to our communities.”

Educational Distribution has been a dream goal. And a distributor who cares about the issues, and who knows how to get this story out into world, and in front of as many eyeballs as possible… well, that’s just pure magic. Sales to libraries are going really well, with over 400 DVDs sold already, across the US & Canada. Further distribution will include universities, colleges, schools, nonprofits, and and and…. 😊.  It really is a dream come true.

There’s now an official Study Guide, a Press Kit, and a DVD (heyo!). You can schedule a screening, purchase public performance rights, or grab your very own copy of the DVD at this link …

Pre-Order “Where There Once WAs Water”

gratitude & love

Somehow we're in December...

I hope you are well, friends, and able to navigate these strange times with grace & grit, and bit of luck & tenacity. It's hard to know what's ahead, and still hard to make sense of what's behind, and amidst it all, I'd like to say thank you. Again & always. Thank you. For being here. For sharing in this journey. For helping bring this story to life. "Where There Once Was Water" continues it's run on the festival circuit, and has even collected a couple awards in the process. My heart is full. The timing couldn't be better, as our earth, our waters, and our collective, are all ripe for healing.

Sending you love & gratitude. Always, Brittany.

I had a sweet time at the Ojai Film Festival, in neighboring Ventura County. I screened alongside my friend Emmett Brennan, with his beautiful film "Reflection : a walk with water", and had the immense pleasure of hosting a Live Q&A after the film, with the one-and-only Florencia Ramirez, author of Eat Less Water. Much Love to all the folks to make the Ojai Film Fest possible - it was a real treat to be included.

WTOWW brought home two (!!) awards from the 2021 Ag & Art Film Festival in Vacaville, CA. What an immense honor! From both the Jury and the Audience - "Best Ag Feature" - Wowzers! Thank you to Lisa Murray, Festival Director, and to all who came out to enjoy the films. xo

There are exciting upcoming opportunities to see the film, and at the very tippy-top of my dream-list of Festivals that I was hoping & wishing & wanting to get into... drumroll please... may I announce....

"Where There Once Was Water" is an Official Selection for the 2022 Wild & Scenic Film Festival! (Yeeeee! Somebody pinch me.) All the info can be found on their website HERE.

For those in Colorado, I'm excited to announce my Colorado Premiere!

If all goes to plan, you may consider attending the in-person (hopefully) Colorado Environmental Film Festival in Golden, CO, Feb 24- 27, 2022. And/or hop online for the virtual portion of the fest, Feb 27 - March 6, 2022. More info can be found on their website HERE.

I was recently interviewed by Bobby Gill, of the Savory Institute, alongside Abbey Smith, of the Jefferson Center for Holistic Management. The conversation went deep. Tune in HERE, or find the interview archived on my Press page HERE.

Here at home, I've been lending my visual story-telling skills to our local beaver, and their human friends, the SLO Beaver Brigade, to help share the story of the positive impacts beaver can have on our watersheds. Learn more about our local watershed superheroes (and join us for a Watery Walk!) with the SLO Beaver Brigade.

As always, thanks for being here, friends. Keep up to date on all screenings/festivals/press at my website... www.WhereThereOnceWasWater.com Much Love & Gratitude to you and yours.
