| Set in Kansas City, 'AIR' is the first modern muscial. It follows three stories of people who feel out of place in the world, and their longing to find a connection with someone else. It breaks stereotypes - a middle aged African American sings to a new love in a country western bar; a young goth girl sings a 50s style ballad as she wanders the streets with a broken heart; and a punk croons a modern doo wop while lost in the crowd of a rock show. Featuring all original music, 'AIR' is a drama, a romantic comedy and a musical all in one, and entirely produced by filmmakers living in Kansas, about as far as anyone can get from either of the coasts in America! |

Filmed in 14 countries across the globe, One Water brings home stunning non-verbal visual sequences, compelling expert commentary, local music and an overall score performed by the world renowned Russian National Orchestra, to highlight mankind's changing and challenging relationship to water.
Water's connection to human life is universally celebrated in the major ritual ceremonies of the world. Once water was considered to be nature's endowment to life. Like air, we took it for granted and even if one did not possess the means to have it delivered to our doorstep, water was free for us to access in the rivers and streams of our communities. Environmental degradation, industrial pollution, population growth and climate change have all contributed to our precarious relationship to water. |

Declared extinct in the 1940’s, the bird has apparently been spotted by numerous experts.
