The Living Land Film
Anne Goetze and Nathan Collie have been documenting the Middle Tennessee landscape for many years through photographs and video. Now they have collaborated with editor and videographer Ken Tucker to create a feature film, The Living Land, to bring awareness, aspirit of conservation, and beauty into our lives through nature, music, and poetry.
In the film, the rich sights and sounds of nature in Middle Tennessee are traced through all four seasons, accompanied with narrated poetry and music. Native American singer/songwriter Bill Miller also contributes music and reads from the Native American Book of Wisdom.
This film is intended to encourage and inspire us to become more active in protecting and conserving the resources of Middle Tennessee—and the earth itself—for future generations, as well as to expand access to the arts as a pathway to well-being.
