Where There Once Was Water

Where There Once Was Water A song for the sacred in all of us. Now available : https://vimeo.com/ondemand/wherethereoncewaswater And we must act now.

An invitation to change our perspective, rewrite the story, and heal our relationship with water ... one watershed, one meal, one raindrop, at a time. “Where There Once Was Water” is a feature-length documentary film about the California water crisis, focusing on ecological solutions and holistic management approaches to restoring and repairing our broken water cycle. Directed by local photographe

r & filmmaker Brittany App, this film takes a deep dive into Indigenous knowledge around the sacredness of water, contrasted with our prevalent out-of-sight-out-of-mind approach to interacting with our water here in the United States. California is used as a case study for discussing water scarcity issues worldwide, and solutions are presented that may help us avoid a global catastrophe. But the call to action is clear… If we want a future in which there is clean water for all life, we must act.

The dream for any filmmaker, ultimately, is for their film to be seen. This dream is now coming true in a biiiiig way for WHERE THERE ONCE WAS WATER. I am thrilled to finally share the news that’s had me bursting at my seams …. (insert long-awaited drumroll here) ….

… WE HAVE A DISTRIBUTOR! … (omg, y’all). Where There Once Was Water has secured educational distribution through a really-totally-couldn’t-be-more-perfect partnership with EPF Media.

“EPF Media is a distributor and producer of innovative documentaries from around the world that educate and raise awareness of social issues, cultures and the arts. EPF Media is committed to releasing films that inspire people and bring positive change to our communities.”

Educational Distribution has been a dream goal. And a distributor who cares about the issues, and who knows how to get this story out into world, and in front of as many eyeballs as possible… well, that’s just pure magic. Sales to libraries are going really well, with over 400 DVDs sold already, across the US & Canada. Further distribution will include universities, colleges, schools, nonprofits, and and and…. 😊. It really is a dream come true.

There’s now an official Study Guide, a Press Kit, and a DVD (heyo!). You can schedule a screening, purchase public performance rights, or grab your very own copy of the DVD at this link …
