I don’t make ads. Not really. But if I did this is what might happen. I made this for Gene. You might recognise him from the first Soul Portrait.

And I was struck by a single line:

"Everybody was an honor, everybody was a privilege to be with."

And the reason I’m playing it here is because this is how Gene is. Truly is. Everybody is an honor and a privilege to be with. And in this action he proves that a life time of ’seeking’ can transform a person.

The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.

I had long wondered if I might capture someone with less. With less time. And with fewer words.

Less can be a challenge. More is so much easier.

And so with a willing subject, and a glorious day spent together talking about everything & nothing, I set out to capture what I could ’see’.
