Conscious Co-Working, 22min., Mexico
Directed by Matt Crowe
Conscious Co-Working is an award winning heart-led documentary exploring the rise of spiritually conscious entrepreneurship and community in the digital age. Set in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, the film follows a global tribe of creatives, healers, spiritual digital nomads, and conscious entrepreneurs who are redefining work as a sacred act of self-expression, collaboration, and inner growth. Through intimate interviews, rituals, and raw moments of transformation, the film captures how a coworking space became a sanctuary for purpose-driven humans building businesses that align with soul and service. This is not just about work – it’s about healing, connection, and the future of how we live and create together.

NIGHT SHIFT, 29min,. Ukraine
Directed by Megumi Lim
In the still hours of Kharkiv’s curfewed nights, a quiet resilience hums through its empty streets. Night Shift is a short film about people who work under the cover of darkness, navigating both routine and risk as Russia often attacks when residents try to sleep. Those who stay awake to work do so for the city’s survival. The film explores how nighttime in Ukraine’s second largest city has transformed because of war, its nightly hope that dawn will arrive quietly, and the human need to carry on.

BEEKIND, 11min. Canada
Directed by Olivia Bronwyn
Follow Gregg Scott and the keepers of Circling Hawk Honey & Mead, as we’re taken under their wing to get an up-close look at the species so relied upon by our kind. Beekind gives insight on the nature of the honeybee as a member of the colony, their interactions and relationships to each other and to humans, as we look within, and take one big sustainable step back. We’re welcomed into Circling Hawk, the business and home of Gregg and Michelle Scott, our owners and operators, and caretakers of the 25 acres of land. Alongside their two protégé’s Julia and John, they take us on their journey as stewards, artists, and guides to the life they lead at the apiary. A life of peace, love, and earthly balance.
