Filmmaker Statement

We’re Doing Good! is a semi-autobiographical series about a couple of dummies trying to make the world a better place, struggling with the age-old question: how can we be good people? What can anyone actually do to help fix the hot steaming mess surrounding us? Compost? Volunteer? Go full (okay, realistically "half") vegan? What happens if you really want to march to Gandhi's "be the change" drum, but you also have a short attention span and require frequent naps? These are truly life’s big questions and we will tackle all (okay, realistically "some") of them. This is not a cynical show. Figuring out how to be a good person is much more complex than sharing an Instagram info-graphic or buying reusable straws. It takes deep thought and self exploration, which is freaking hard! But I hope this show gently encourages people to keep trying, even if they feel unequipped or defeated or really, really sleepy.
