Pure Water is More Precious Than Gold

I would love to tell the story of a small group of activist who were jump started by the word that a cyanide leach goldmine was going to be installed above their land on Buckhorn Mtn. the affects of the mine would be devastating and would contaminate the land for miles around. making water undrinkable and eventually flowing into the sea. the small group amidst struggle and strife managed to take their fight to the supreme court and win. oh yeah and they recorded an album! "The Environmental Impact Statement" was a collection of songs designed to educate and bring awareness to people on the harms of cyanide leach goldmining.


The battle is still raging on and we must act now to let the public know whats going on!


Anything you can do to help whether it be passing it on or adding a dollar dropping $25 and knowing you'l have a dvd in the mail when its done!


Please help me in my attempt to raise funding for this documentary.

BACK TO THE GARDEN

Well Back to The Garden has been having a good run over the last 6 months in the film fest circuit. it won the Best Of Washington Award at the Ellensburgh Film Fest. and i just heard we were only 3 votes shy of the audience award at the Bendfilm fest. It was quite a fun piece to work on. i was the editor by the way. and got the chance to work with a seasoned professional in Kevin Tomlinson. He was great to work with and i think we were a great team. maybe get to work with him again in the future.
Anyway if you get the chance the film is showing at the Olympia Film Fest in November. and after that is Santa fe and then the Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Fest in Nevada city.
but if you cant wait to see it head straight to the website and buy one today.

Pure Water is More Precious Than Gold

Just a few weeks ago an album(made in 1992) landed in my hands made by a group of environmentalist. The group called themselves The Environmental Impact Statement. and thats what the album was. it took my breath away and made me cry. the songs touched me right off the bat. and ofcourse since the album tells the story of a troop trying to fight off a multi-million dollar gold company that would have put in a scinide leach gold mine above their land which would contaminate the watershed for centuries.
Sounds like a good story to tell so here we are trying to raise funds to begin work on a new doc about these fearless folks wiling to go head to head with one of the worlds largest gold companies at the time. A journey which has now spanned almost 25 years.
COMING SOON!
if you would like to donate to the cause and help us overturn the mining act of 1872.
