Good Morning SuperForest!
We just got an email in from filmmaker and video artist, Miss Laura Hanna! She has just released two very cool films.
In the first, “Commons” Laura and Co. explore a system that reinforces the collective good and ways to support it.
“A commons arises whenever a given community decides that it wishes to manage a resource in a collective manner, with a special regard for equitable access, use, and sustainability…”
Ooooo! We like that.
Next is a great little piece, “A City Made of Waste”, which explores the new housing synergism evolving along the California/Mexico border. Recycled materials from San Diego are shipped South to become walls and houses in Tijuana, and the opportunities for growth and collaboration are ripe and rampant.
Check it:

After watching these two extraordinary pieces, I jumped on the phone and rang up Miss Hanna, who agreed to grant us a little interview. That will be this coming Tuesday, so the interview and profile should be up later next week.
Fun!
Laura Hanna is amazing. We can’t wait to see what she does next!
