THE NATURE FILM PROJECT:THE RHYTHMS OF MODERN-DAY SOCIETY AND TECHNOLOGY COMBINED HAVE INADVERTENTLY SET HUMANITY ON A PATH TO BECOMING AN INDOOR SPECIES. MOST AMERICANS SPEND AN AVERAGE OF 90% OF THEIR LIVES INDOORS AND CHILDREN PLAY FREELY OUTDOORS FOR AN AVERAGE OF FOUR TO SEVEN MINUTES A DAY.WHILE IT'S SHOCKING TO SEE THESE NUMBERS, THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY HAS BEEN RESEARCHING THE IMPACT OF THEM FOR DECADES AS OUR LIFE INDOORS IS EXACERBATING HEALTH CONDITIONS LIKE SLEEP AND MOOD DISORDERS, TOXIC STRESS, OBESITY, DIABETES AND MUCH MORE. THE NEWS ISN'T GREAT, BUT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE STORY. IT'S THE BEGINNING OF A STORY THAT WE BELIEVE NEEDS TO BE EXPLORED AND WIDELY SHARED-PARTICULARLY BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE AND PEOPLE IN LOW-INCOME AND BIPOC COMMUNITIES ARE BEING HARDEST HIT BY THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF OUR SHIFT INDOORS.THE NATURE FILM PROJECT WILL EXPLORE SOLUTIONS TO CREATING NATURE ACCESS FOR ALL THROUGH A MULTIFACETED MEDIA PROJECT THAT PUTS SOUND, IMAGERY, STORY AND SCIENCE BEHIND A PHENOMENON DEEPLY FELT AROUND THE WORLD: THAT HUMANS AND NATURE ARE INSEPARABLE AND THAT CONNECTING WITH THE OUTDOORS HAS A PROFOUNDLY POSITIVE EFFECT ON HUMAN HEALTH. HUMANS EVOLVED SYMBIOTICALLY WITH NATURE; WE ARE PREDISPOSED TO CONNECT WITH AND BE OUR HEALTHIEST SELVES WHEN ENGAGING WITH THE OUTDOORS. THIS FILM AND ITS ASSOCIATED IMPACT CAMPAIGN WILL SHOW US HOW.
