POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

We were excited for news that @bucksharborfilm won Best Documentary Feature at the @tacomafilmfest! It’s been so cool to bring Bucks Harbor around the world and hear audiences and juries react. We always believed in the message of the movie but wasn’t sure how others would respond. We’re glad that it resonates so widely. More to come!

It would be hard to overstate how much this award from the @irishfilminstitute means to me. The Irish have such an exquisite storytelling tradition and their endorsement of @bucksharborfilm is a great honor. What I enjoy most about their collective sensibility is the incorporation of humor in stories that might otherwise feel dark and heavy. Through centuries of hardship, the Irish people honed an ability to express their experiences in a way that weaves heartbreak with humor. That range is the gold standard for communicating what it means to be alive. I am deeply grateful to IFI for inviting our film to Dublin and to all the wonderful people who came out to see and discuss it. Go raibh míle maith agat!

What an incredible experience to screen @bucksharborfilm at the @irishfilminstitute in Dublin this week. The spirit of Bucks Harbor is about finding our way through life’s trials with humility and humor. The Irish people have done this for centuries. Their reactions to the movie were beyond my expectations and the ensuing conversations were among the most insightful and interesting to date. Grateful to the IFI team for inviting Bucks Harbor to the festival and for all the lovely people who sold it out! Onward to @zurichfilmfestival! Come see us if you’re in town!

Screening @bucksharborfilm at @camdeniff was one of the greatest experiences of my life. No joke. During our festival tour, we’ve shown the film in dozens of towns and cities across the globe. Each screening is different. To finally bring the film home to Maine, where every little joke landed and the seasonal cadence was so familiar to the audience, was a pleasure like no other. I could not be more grateful to all the friends and family who turned up to help celebrate this important milestone. Grateful to @camdeniff for giving us this opportunity and to the audience for voting for us. If you’re in Midcoast, drop through @mainemedia to catch the related photo exhibition “Between the Forest and the Sea.” It’s up through November. Also, we’ll have an encore screen of Bucks at the Colonial Theater in Belfast on 27 Oct. LFG!!!

We were psyched to have the New England premiere of @bucksharborfilm as part of @middfilmfest. This is an amazing, intimate festival in the rolling hills of Vermont. And man were there some extraordinary films here 🔥🔥🔥! The caliber of devotion and artistry makes us especially honored to receive the Best Documentary Award and the Audience Award for Feature Film. There were many films here that were deserving of both. A big congratulations to all the talented artists who brought their films to Middlebury and a hearty thanks to the organizers and community who made us all feel very welcomed.

I choose not to mother for convenience, I mother to nurture.

The benefits, the nurturing, the comfort and pure joy we have experienced together over these years has connected us in the most magical ways I ever could have imagined.

From birth to present - 3yrs 2 months 🥹💕 we will continue for as long as you need the body that grew you.

“A deeper look at the role of tough guy culture, cyclical trauma, and what healing later in life may look like.” The @bucksharborfilm team is thrilled for this review by Monica Castillo for RogerEbert.com. The @truefalsefilmfest was packed with incredible documentary films and we are honored to be highlighted among them.

During our World Premiere at @berlinale, the @bucksharborfilm team was honored to win the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury. What’s that, you ask? Yeah, me too. It’s presented to a film of “high artistic quality that highlights spiritual, human, and social values.” We were as surprised as we were honored to receive it. Making Bucks was a journey for everyone involved. We all worked in genuine collaboration with the hope of making something that helps us understand one another better. I feel closest to a spiritual path when I’m part of a quiet communal push toward something positive. So yeah. LFG!

i don’t know but responding to your baby every time they cry feels like common sense to us because honoring that primal part of ourselves is how we heal the world.

and we mean that in a way that goes so much deeper than sleep.

every time a woman has the courage to trust herself instead of abandoning herself, something ancient gets repaired. every time she listens to the voice in her body over the noise of a culture obsessed with conditioning women out of their power, something changes.

because this was never just about babies sleeping independently.

it is about whether women feel safe enough to remain connected to themselves in a world that benefits from their disconnection.

once you realize that anything asking you to override your deepest knowing is not worthy of your obedience… you stop living disconnected from your own soul.

& it is there that we break the cycle. where the nervous systems of the next generation get to write a different story because of our courage.

happy Mother’s Day mamas. there is nothing more powerful than you x
