The mission of the Pachamama Alliance is to bring forth an environmentally sustainable, socially just and spiritually fulfilling human presence on this planet. The videos address: Where are we? How did we get here? What is possible for the future? and Where do we go from here? The March alpha release was a smashing success and Pachamama is hopeful that the videos will enable them to reach millions of people.

Paul Hawken's "Blessed Unrest" Book Tour
Patsy Northcutt and Mark Woloshuck from the Northcutt team recently created two high definition animations for Paul Hawken's current Blessed Unrest book tour, to help him convey the scope and breadth of the environmental/social justice movement in short and powerful way. Michael Becker and Colin Farish, created original music for the project. So far the animations have been extremely well receive by large audiences. We also edited an excerpt of Hawken's Bioneers presentation. This includes the first of the two animations and can be viewed on his Blessed Unrest website.

"Farish and Friends" at Skywalker Sound
In early 2007, Northcutt directed and edited a 5 camera music video at Skywalker Sound. We shot in high definition and Robert Barcelona, our crane operator, did fabulous sweeping camera moves across the two grand pianos. Adam Loften helped create a moving mattes look, layering multiple cameras without using straight lines and boxes. The instrumentation varied from song to song and included Native American fluet, vocal and guitars, lead by a dynamic piano duet. The project was produced by Stillwater Sound, and working with the Skywalker recording team, they created a beautiful surround sound mix for a DVD release.

The Temple Beyond Tolerance
In the Fall of 2006, Northcutt Productions produced a short film for Dhillon Khosa, author of BOTH SIDES NOW: one man's journey through womanhood. The film tells Dhillon's story of living for twenty-eight years trapped in the body of a woman, how he discovered the truth of his gender and the long, difficult, heart-wrenching journey that he embarked on to become a complete man. Patsy Northcutt worked in tandem with Adam Loften to direct and edit this project, and Jim Iacona was the director of photography. The story was told in a temple like setting, with candles and high contrast lighting. Because the past was like a dream, rather than reality, we used glimpses of artfully projected images and movies projected on to walls of the set to depict it.

OneRoof
Northcutt Productions produced an upbeat funder/partner marketing video DVD for OneRoof, a socially responsible startup business that has as it's mission to bring essential goods and services to the rural poor in India and Mexico.
