OUR FILMS

JOCELYN NASH

Sailing Set Her Free

Jocelyn grew up in the 1940s, a time of very rigid ideas of a woman’s place in society. Despite being judged by others for not conforming to societal norms Jocelyn continued to swim against the tide to live a life of authenticity. It was not her plan to become extraordinary and yet the way she navigated her life led to extraordinary achievements. Jocelyn has become a source of encouragement, advice, and inspiration for men and women alike.

The Voyage of Discovery

Growing up in New Zealand, surrounded by vast blue water and fueled by an insatiable curiosity, Ron dreamed of crossing oceans and exploring faraway lands. From his troubled childhood to his rise to fame in the sailing world, Ron’s real life journey would take him far beyond his wildest imagination.

RAMBLIN' JACK

Beyond the Music

Ramblin’ Jack Elliott is one of the last living legends of American folk music. The son of a Brooklyn doctor who ran away from home to become a cowboy. Jack has spent more than seventy years singing songs and telling stories from one generation to the next. A two-time Grammy winner and recipient of the National Medal of Arts. This is a portrait of the man beyond the legend — and beyond the music. photo credit: Paul Dines

OUR STORY

“It started as an idea to make one small film about a person we felt had something to teach us, but as each piece came together we realized that the portraits do something more than just that. They reveal deep, personal aspects about ourselves.”
