In 2022, we approached our friends at the Clarity Project with a concept for this short film series. Clarity Project is an organization working in Hawaii to decriminalize psilocybin (psychedelic mushrooms). Their focus is currently on legalizing it for use in a therapeutic setting with a trained guide. Through their network, we were lucky enough to find two brave souls willing to share their stories (Vietnam veteran Steve Anderson and his son Sean Anderson).

Three Hawaii-based businesses — Merriman's Hawaii, Blue Ocean Barns, and Hawaii Island Goat Dairy — came together to produce the world's first climate-friendly, low-methane emissions goat cheese. You'll find this sustainable culinary masterpiece at Merriman's Hawaii restaurants across the state. Blue Ocean Barns is a startup that created, Brominata, a seaweed-based product feed additive. This game-changing product reduces methane burps in livestock by a staggering 75%.

Pledge to our Keiki is a commitment to respect and care for the Hawaiian Islands written by students from across the state. The purpose of the video was to encourage residents and locals to sign the Pledge and commit to caring for Hawai’i. The video is currently playing on all United Airlines flights coming into the Hawaiian Islands. Our Role: Developing the creative concept, directing, producing, location scouting, editing, and color grading.
