The 26-minute film, which is based on an interview with Macy, the 84-year-old environmental writer, teacher and activist, will be distributed by the Video Project, a San Francisco-based company that distributes environmental films to multiple audiences, including colleges, community groups, and consumers.

Chris has been involved in video production for a number of years, but this is his first film. It will be released this spring.  Congrats Chris!
