Project Updates
The project is owned and administered by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that produces media addressing social and environmental issues. Filmmakers Collaborative has produced several films and series along with corresponding curricula and educational materials including: Not All Parents Are Straight, Acting Our Age, From the Ground Up, Partnerships for Change, Restoring Balance, and The Women Next Door. The organization was started in 1988 by filmmakers Michal Aviad and Kevin White. Board members consist of well-respected filmmakers and educators.
Filmmakers Collaborative will provide full administration and management for How On Earth, including accounting, fiscal oversight and tracking, insurance, compliance, and reports to funders.
How On Earth is being produced by David Donnenfield, Kevin White and John Berger, all experienced media professionals with an extensive background in environmental issues. The project has a distinguished panel of advisors, including scientists, land managers, ranchers, government agency representatives and others.
How On Earth is being produced in accordance with production and editorial guidelines for national broadcast on Public Broadcasting. Among the several major PBS stations with which we have held discussions, San Francisco PBS station KQED has offered to be the program's presenting station.
Funding for development and some initial production has been secured. The team hopes to secure major funding within the next six to nine months. The producers have completed some filming on several of the stories. The series will be released on Earth Day, 2007.
