‘Reflection, A Walk With Water’ and Meet Filmmaker Emmett Brennan!

View the film ‘Reflection, A Walk With Water’ and then meet the filmmaker Emmett Brennan to hear his story. There will be an opportunity to ask him about his work of creating this new film, as well as his previous work ‘Inhabit, A Permaculture Perspective’. Emmett is an artist and storyteller who uses film as a way to orient humanity towards care, curiosity, and repair. Both poetic and practical, his work gives momentum to the cautiously hopeful dreams in our hearts and offers deep insight into the interdependent relationship we share with the whole of life. He is most well known for producing ‘Inhabit: A Permaculture Perspective’ and directing ‘Reflection: a walk with water,’ which premiered at Tribeca and won an Audience Favorite award at Mill Valley.
