I am absolutely delighted we will get to share the trailer for our new documentary film Earth Seasoned...#GapYear here Friday morning!! It's about 5 young women who got to spend an entire year living primitively in the Oregon Cascade Mountains as told through the eyes of one of the young women Tori Davis. It is a postive film, which we feel kids need now more then ever, and our goal is to get this film to as may young people as possible!! I look forward to being among so many great and like-minded people.
