With 18 interviews and over 20 hours of emotional and inspirational storytelling captured on film, we are preparing a special feature-length IBULIEVE documentary dedicated to the Woolsey Fire. Raising awareness of the power of community and the significance of kindness, “After the Fire” will tell the story behind the stories … inspired by the hearts of a community as it recovers and rebuilds its own.
We began interviewing locals in Malibu to capture their heart stories, insights and lessons learned from their personal experiences of the Woolsey Fire. A frontier spirit, the heart - however wounded - still beats in Malibu.
We began filming Ann on 9 August 2018. Sometimes taking longer than we anticipate, our creations know their own birthday … and wait for reasons only they understand. Three months (to the day) later, on 9 November 2018, fire burned through our beautiful Malibu, claiming homes, landscape, life and livelihood. Living in Malibu Park, the epicenter of the fire, flames surrounded Ann’s home … and her bright and brilliant sculptures … but, recognizing the same passionate flame that created them, the fire left them alone. Decorating the ashen landscape with the rainbow of color and the energy of hope, Ann’s art inspires Malibu as we rebuild our heARTs too. Soon, her IBULIEVE will too! … Watch this space!

It was a magical night on Lechusa Beach in Malibu as we began filming Catherine Malcolm Brickman. As the drone and camera circled her seated on a magical rock playing her flute, the pelicans dove in the water against the setting sun.
Tonight on Lechusa, we were surrounded by the beauty of nature and diving pelicans, fishing for their abundant catch. Extraordinary.

After filming his interview in the studio, musical Maestro Deepak Ramapriyan couldn't resist sitting at our baby grand and belting out the tunes. A truly talented fella.

Earth Harp on the Horizon, William Close hosted us today on an expedition to understand his connection with the Earth Harp ... the music of nature. It was a magical day in Marina Del Rey.
