How Do You See The World?

Why is it so difficult for some people to give so little and so easy for others to give so much? Abundant explores these questions by entering the world of extreme altruism: non-directed kidney donation. These rare individuals give kidneys away to complete strangers.

Through personal stories and interviews with nationally acclaimed experts, Abundant explores how our culture struggles with abundance and what we can do to become more altruistic as a community.

 This insightful, inspiring documentary features live performance content from CrowdSource for Life and it’s cast of living kidney donors.  Commentary from a wide variety of experts in abundance and high-profile activists from the kidney transplant/donation community expounds on how acts of altruism and abundance changes lives.

And, there’s a surprise as the film follows the unbelievable events that occurred as this cast of extreme altruists learned the art of storytelling to create an emotional and inspirational storytelling show.

Coming to Film Festivals and Theaters in 2025.

A Travel Television Series about History, Music and Social Progress

Through the Music is a travelouge of discovery, rediscovery and music from transcendent American venues.

Hosted by musicologists and cultural commentators, Through the Music travels to American cities and towns in search of progress and the music that pushes progress forward.  Featuring casual interviews with local experts, authorities and activists, each episode of Through the Music explores the history and the forward trajectory of an American community.  The show pairs that conversation with expertly curated live music performances from an emerging artist playing one of the community’s historic music venues.  We’ll dig deeply into American culture through the music found in these places.

A Podcast About Cognitive Biases

Nude/Naked is a light-hearted, but serious podcast about aspiring to intelligence.  Picture yourself in the art museum in a room with work featuring an unclothed model.  Why not indulge yourself?  Say you’re in Florence, Italy seeing the sculpture of David by Michelangelo.  Someone near you covers a child’s eyes to hide the naked man from their view.  Another person is moved to tears by the nude masterpiece.  While you are standing there minding your own business, both have heaped their lifetimes of perception onto the artwork in clear, polarized disagreement.

 

Scratch the surface on those opinions and up comes a series of compounded limiting factors that comprise what we all can disagree is “our culture.”  Nude/Naked opens that door, and looks into popular misconceptions about free thinking, reality, right, wrong and the future of humanity.
