CURRENT MISSION

Being as fully human as possible!

ABOUT ME

it is kind of hard to define our organisatio in its disorganisation. the core group are three people Sarah (25), Roger(22) and Niklas(19).

the best way describe us is probably by describing what we are doing right now because that should reflect who we are.

a documentary project for a non-profit we just finished: http://marycare.org/films.htm
Our little group is working (it is not really work thou, because it is too much fun for being work) on a few projects. in stafford we kinda have our base.
that is where we started to build an arts collective together with a group of local artists, which is probably gonna come into existens this year. related to that we are making a documentary about stafford and the arts collective project.

espacialy sarah is helping to organize a CSA (community supported agriculture) that is taking care of by the comunity.
last but not least we are colaberating with marycare http://marycare.org/ a non-profit organisation. they send us on trips and we film for them and pass on knowlege to locals so they can help themselves. it is a win win relationship and that is how everything should be: win win.

while we are doing all this we are learning and growing as people and are just enjoying life, every moment and every breath...

This a where we are coming from (links probably do not work)
- Roger Ingraham directed "Moonshine" was shown at Sundance www.moonshinethemovie.com, owned a webdesign company.
- Sarah Ingraham started a CSA farm www.getdowntoearth.org and acted in Moonshine
- Niklas Schrimpf from Germany was an exchange student with YFU in the USA and got to know Sarah and Roger that way. Helped a little with moonshine.
