IN 2020, THE STORIES PROJECT INVITED YOUNG PEOPLE (PARTICULARLY THOSE AGES 10-14) TO JOIN A JOURNEY OF LEARNING THAT BUILDS CONFIDENCE FOR LEARNING ACROSS ANY SUBJECT AND PUTS THEM IN THE DIRECTOR'S SEAT TO DISCOVER AND ARTICULATE THEIR WISDOM AS AUTHORS OF HUMANITY'S COLLECTIVE NARRATIVE.

THROUGH A NEW RAPID RESPONSE FILM INITIATIVE, POWER THE VOTE, THE REDFORD CENTER, IN COLLABORATION WITH MULTIPLE PARTNERS, COMMISSIONED 12 SHORT FILMS FROM DIVERSE STORYTELLERS TO HELP SHIFT PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN ENVIRONMENTALIST AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A VOTER. TOGETHER THE SHORT FILMS HAD OVER 500,000 VIDEO IMPRESSIONS. THE NATURE FILM PROJECT:THE RHYTHMS OF MODERN-DAY SOCIETY AND TECHNOLOGY COMBINED HAVE INADVERTENTLY SET HUMANITY ON A PATH TO BECOMING AN INDOOR SPECIES.

HUMANS EVOLVED SYMBIOTICALLY WITH NATURE; WE ARE PREDISPOSED TO CONNECT WITH AND BE OUR HEALTHIEST SELVES WHEN ENGAGING WITH THE OUTDOORS.
