Collaborative, joyful, exploratory and HUMOROUS math taught in a safe and welcoming environment - the Summer Studies in Mathematics at Hampshire College is a national treasure (to quote one of our alumni interviews). We're helping produce an hour-long film on this incredible high school summer experience that's created a huge alum community who are innovating society - from medicine to teaching to tech, music, and more.
The program (which is not a part of Hampshire College but is hosted there), has been going on for 52 years, building a quirky and unique alum body that argues that math is FUN and best done in groups working together.
We can still only share part of last summer's teaser, as we still wrap up the final film...but please enjoy this small, selected excerpt for now.
Hopefully, the full film will be out this summer to spread the word about this program, and it's innovative approach to the often misunderstood subject of mathematics.

Outdoor education is where it’s at! Excerpt from a new video about the Pine Hill nature area at The Bement School
“In spending unstructured time outside, it leads to increased confidence, creativity, and lowered stress levels” - Jill Craig, Pine Hill Coordinator. Full video at: https://vimeo.com/665370273
We hope all children can find their way into outdoor education programs, it is such a crucial part of learning about your world, yourself, and understanding how you learn in an environment other than the classroom. 🌲🌳🌿🍁🍄🌾🌞#deerfieldma #westernma #franklincountyma

Reimagining Care: A LifePath Call to Action
The power of video can take any event to a new level. We were asked to produce a video for LifePath explaining the workforce crisis in home care and the need to reimagine the field, in order to aid aging populations who wish to age at home. It is a huge and growing issue and the legislative event held on December 10 was a vital opportunity to get the word out.
We produced a nine-minute video in two weeks that thoroughly explained the problem and emotions surrounding a complicated issue. State senators and legislators attended, & the video has been sent statewide to help spread the word. A piece of legislation was signed onto at that very event!
We were grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the issues facing essential workers & the challenges we face as a society to raise them up, both economically and professionally. The introduction and teaser is here, & link to the full video is below. #homecare #livingwage #essentialworkers #agingathome #pandemic #buildbackbetter #videostories #documentaryproduction #videoproduction #massachusetts Senator Jo Comerford Natalie Blais - State Representative, First Franklin District
