The Known Universe from Amer. Museum of Natural History

The film "The Known Universe" takes viewers from the Himalayas to the Big Bang's afterglow, featuring stars, planets, and quasars. This immersive journey is made possible by the Digital Universe Atlas, the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the cosmos.

Maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), the Atlas underpins the film, which was also created by the Museum. "The Known Universe" was part of the 2010 "Visions of the Cosmos" exhibition at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan.

I met the Walrus

In 1969, 14-year-old Beatle fanatic Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's Toronto hotel room and secured an interview. Thirty-eight years later, Levitan collaborated with director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina to create "I Met the Walrus," an animated short film using that original recording.

This spellbinding film, a vessel for Lennon's wit and timeless message, garnered critical acclaim. It was nominated for a 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short and won a 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches,' becoming the first film to win an Emmy on behalf of the internet.

Interview for WWF 50th Birthday by Niall Dunne

Authentic product storytelling is crucial, accurately reflecting what "regenerative" truly means. This involves clearly distinguishing genuine practices from misleading claims.

To achieve this, we must effectively educate consumers and maintain full transparency across all business practices.

The Sustainability Advocate by Joseph Roberts

The "One in 8 Million" oral history project profiled a different New York City resident weekly throughout 2009. Criteria for subjects, as noted by deputy Metro editor Jodi Rudoren, included being interesting, articulate, and previously unmentioned in the NYT.

One profile highlighted a young man's journey to becoming a sustainability advocate, driven by the conviction that we have "one earth, one shot to get things right."

How To Boil A Frog Trailer

This trailer introduces "How to Boil a Frog," an eco-comedy that confronts the consequences of overshoot: too many people consuming too little planet.

An everyman dad guides viewers through the imminent global crisis, revealing five surprising ways we can save civilization.

When Demand Exceeds Your Capacity

Current work culture, driven by the "more, bigger, faster" ethic, causes widespread burnout and disengagement, undermining energy, focus, creativity, and passion. "The Way We're Working Isn't Working" offers a groundbreaking approach to reenergize lives, enhancing satisfaction and productivity on and off the job.

Tony Schwartz, co-author of the #1 bestselling *The Power of Full Engagement*, integrates high-performance science to show we neglect four core needs: physical (sustainability), emotional (security), mental (self-expression), and spiritual (significance). He argues optimal performance comes from rhythmically renewing energy across these needs, not continuous high-speed work.

Duane Elgin on "The Living Universe"--Part 2

Duane Elgin, author of "Voluntary Simplicity" and other works, was recently interviewed at Global MindShift by Richard Rathbun, CEO of the Foundation for Global Community. The discussion centered on Elgin's new book, "The Living Universe," which explores themes of regeneration and the power of now.

You can order "The Living Universe" directly from Amazon.
