Let’s Start Here – w/ ioby.org
[vimeo width=”640″ height=”360″]http://vimeo.com/71330327[/vimeo] Some stories start big…. a sunrise ocean vista, mountains rolling into the distance, the vast expanse of starry outer space. But so often our favorite stories, the ones that really stick, start small. This is the first lesson we all learned watching our favorite Disney movie and the first lesson we forgot […]

CUNY School of Law – Pipeline to Justice
[vimeo width=”640″ height=”360″]http://vimeo.com/59542669[/vimeo] A few years ago, we made a video for the CUNY School of Law.

Of the many wonders on our recent trip to Telluride Colorado, it was these regular twilight gondola rides that got me thinking about the work we do at Good Eye Video. This bird’s eye view of natural beauty, with a […]

Community Service Society – Our City, Our Home
[vimeo width=”640″ height=”360″]https://vimeo.com/63761552[/vimeo] It’s not very often that we get to work with celebrities. Real life, New York City celebrities.

Home to world famous art galleries and the newly-renovated Highline?

How to care in an infinite universe
“We are a speck on a speck on a speck.” That’s our cosmic situation as summed up by Neil deGrasse Tyson in this awesome/old episode of NPR’s RadioLab, which manages to inspire both deep feelings of joy at the seemingly boundlessness of our universe and a profound, if quiet sense of loneliness. It’s this last […]

IAF – “What We Carry”
Last December, we had the amazing chance to travel to El Salvador with the Inter-American Foundation (IAF), a grassroots development organization that supports community-led projects in Latin America & the Caribbean.
