🚨 MEDICINE ALERT I could not be more chuffed to pass along this good stuff - 9 new shorts from the shoot of Look & See filmmakers Laura Dunn and her guy Jef! This is a great deal 😍
Introducing a new 9-part series of shorts built entirely from nearly ten hours of recorded conversations with Wendell Berry. In an age of AI-generated noise, we call it community-supported art. For $20, you’ll receive early access to each new short as it premieres weekly — and immediate viewing of our film "LOOK & SEE: A PORTRAIT OF WENDELL BERRY" (twobirdsfilm.com/lookandseef…)
