This film was made possible through the generous financial support of the Biome Trust with assistance from The Gift Trust . Learn more about Adam and Sian: Find out more about Evergreen Homes, Adam Hickman’s building company Follow Evergreen Homes on Instagram Follow Evergreen Homes on Facebook Watch the first film we shot with Adam and Sian about their Tiny House Truck This film follows the building of a beautiful eco home by wonderful owner builders Adam and Sian in Victoria, Australia. It’s a stunning traditional timber frame home combining timber joinery, strawbale and cob. And it radiates with the wholehearted love they poured into designing a sustainable home of their dreams, and then building it. If you’ve been following us a while, you may recall that seven years ago we made a film about Adam and Sian’s first home, The Handmade House Truck . Their new forever home is even more special. We shot this film sporadically over four years, which is a really long production run for us! Each time Jordan visited his homeland of Australia, he’d check in with Adam and Sian to catch up on the build. And the inevitable story that has developed around it. That story included the birth of their first child alongside the unexpected death of a beloved family member. Both events weaving into the story of joy, heartache, community connection, frustration, and love that’s become as much part of the house’s structure as the straw and cob and timber. Aside from the craftsmanship, beautiful aesthetics, and sheer naturalness of this building, we really love that it’s urban. You don’t get to see so many natural buildings in this setting. Perhaps seeing more eco homes like this created using natural building techniques will shine a light on the waste and toxic materials so prevalent today’s house construction. This timber frame home serves as an inspiration in so many beautiful ways, as do its owner builders Adam and Sian! This story was filmed on Gadubanud country in Victoria, Australia. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land and pay respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

This film was made possible through the generous financial support of the Biome Trust with assistance from The Gift Trust . Visit the Wairarapa Eco Farm website In this film, organic market gardeners Frank and Josje talk about why the supermarket system doesn’t work and how Community Supported Agriculture fits into a new story for food growing. CSA members help farmers to grow the best quality vegetables and to nurture healthy soils by committing to receive vegetable boxes every week for a season. That way, the farmer can get on with growing great food and sending it direct to their customers, without having to accommodate the profit-geared demands of the supermarket chains, which drive conventional growers to produce less nutritious vegetables in ways that damage the soil. This is the future of food, a future in which both people and planet are healthier! Farming, Food & Gardening, Permaculture About The Future of Food 5 mins “ Very interesting and thought-provoking!

Andrew Martin once worked in the finance industry in Australia, but after learning about the true state of the world as peak oil and climate change begin to take effect, he knew he had to leave that unsustainable lifestyle behind and do something useful to help heal the earth and to be more resilient in the face of change. He and his wife Beth moved to New Zealand and began the process of turning green-desert farmland into a productive and bountiful forest of food. It’s incredible to see how much they’re harvesting after just three years. Andrew researches extensively about the big interconnected issues in the realms of economy, environment and energy and offers his skills and knowledge to city and regional councils that need to build their own resilience (that would be pretty much all of them!).

From interviews with the co-originator of permaculture, David Holmgren, to films in which permaculture is showcased even if not named, our films share a variety of ways in which to incorporate permaculture into day to day life.

Is there an age at which you stop being an activist for change? Not according to Helen Dew! In fact, Helen’s activism didn’t even begin until she was in her 60s. Back then, she was introduced to a woman who was campaigning to change the fragile and problematic global financial system. When Helen understood what the issues were, she realised, “ Now I know what to do with my life.” Our money system is integral to how we live our lives and the impact we have on each other and our planet. A lifelong gardener and an innately frugal child of the Great Depression, the concept of living simply is second nature to Helen. But as the world around her has become less and less ‘simple’ her passion has grown ever greater to educate her community about why we benefit from growing our own food, saving our own seeds, taking care of our water and other resources – and how all of these things are linked to the money system that dominates and impacts our lives. For Helen, a key element in building personal and community resilience is in building quality soil. From making biochar for her compost to petitioning the local council to create a natural burial park, she has worked tirelessly in so many ways to contribute to her community and to the planet. She is truly Something Beautiful for the World! Find out more about Helen's work: Living Economies website (co-founded by Helen) – information about Savings Pools.

FILMS ABOUT ECONOMY In many of our films, podcasts and extended interviews, the economy is raised as a critical element in creating individual and collective resilience. What effect is the modern economic system having on society and the capacity for humanity to live in alignment with the planet's needs? What alternative systems exist that could replace how we mange our economy currently? We've covered degrowth economics, alternative currency systems like Green Dollars and timebanking, and discussions about the flaws of the modern system. While the videos below aren't focused specifically on the subject of economics, each brings an interesting perspective to this very important topic. Enjoy!

A Simpler Way: Crisis as Opportunity is a feature-length documentary following a community in Australia who have come together to explore and demonstrate a simpler way to live in response to global crises. Throughout one year the group build tiny houses, plant veggie gardens, practice simple living, and discover the challenges of living in community. The film documents the community’s learning process as well as exploring the global issues we’re facing, through interviews with some of today’s most interesting speakers on the subjects, including permaculture co-originator David Holmgren, filmmaker and activist Helena Norberg-Hodge, climate change activist David Spratt and many more. Filmmakers Jordan and Antoinette both lived on the property for the entire year of the project, Jordan as director and cinematographer and Antoinette as a participant and ultimately co-writer of the film.

This film was made possible through the generous financial support of the Biome Trust with assistance from The Gift Trust . About this series This film forms part of the collaborative series “Something Beautiful for the World”, a project in which three filmmakers from around the globe explore how small acts of love and kindness have the potential to ripple out and change the world, touching hearts and minds in ways that we could never begin to imagine. The series is made up of 12 short films, from across five continents, four from each filmmaker, and releasing one per month for the whole of 2024. Watch all the films in the series here . Subtitles Most of our subtitles are generated by YouTube (English) or created by volunteers.

A Day in the Life of Woody-English A Day in the Life of Woody-Spanish If you'd like to volunteer to create subtitles in your language, please contact us ! A Day in the Life of Woody showcases the unschooled life of 11-year-old Blackwood, a boy who has been schooled from home all his life. There’s not much missing in a day spent with Woody that you wouldn’t find in the life of most 11-year-old Australian boys – bows & arrows, playing cricket, family time, learning time… but there’s a difference here. From growing the tree to make his future bows & arrows to skillfully handling a chainsaw as he helps his dad manage the local commons forest, Woody’s daily life is both similar and very different to the average young boy’s. Told entirely from Woody’s perspective, this 12-minute film shares an inspiring insight into one young boy’s experience of the world. We love this family and have made a few films about them!

Find out about how Happen Films is funded and how we access funds from different sources like philanthropic funding, audience donations and YouTube ad revenue. HOW IS HAPPEN FILMS FUNDED? This is a question we’re often asked when people learn we choose not to take conventional film funding routes and make most of our films free to view. It’s a big subject for us and the ethics around how we fund our lives and our business have been deeply thought about. How do you make ends meet? We refer to our funding model as Community Supported Filmmaking, because we are almost entirely reliant on our audience for the funding of both our films and of Happen Films as a business. For the sake of resilience, we don’t have all our eggs in one basket; our sources of income while we were making films from 2015–2025 were Patreon, Open Collective, YouTube ad revenue, screening licences, and one-off donations. How are funds used? Our major costs are the usual ones for a film production house, with the less usual element that we prioritse buying film gear secondhand (except for batteries and hard drives). The conflict between our films’ messages and the high energy/mining/waste involved in creating the gear we use is not lost on us and each purchase is thoughtfully made. (If you’re in film yourself and have a geeky interest in the gear we use, we’ve added the list on the FAQs page .) As we both lead relatively simple lifestyles we haven't needed to fund luxuries. We paid ourselves a good wage whenever the business could afford it and contractors received standard industry rates. From 2022–2025 we committed to two paid employees working a few hours each a week. The rest of our costs, outside of film production itself, go to platforms that enable the maintenance of this website, cloud file storage, subscriptions for editing and other post-production programmes and music libraries, and of course our accountancy programme and fees, gear insurance, and general home office costs. It all inevitably mounts up, even when you think of your business as tiny! In total, our monthly outgoings in our last few years making films amounted to between NZ$7000 and $10,000, not counting film production, where each film has a separate budget. Usually NZ$15–20,000 for a short film and NZ$40–80,000 for longer-form films. Ethics We want to live in a world in which all of Earth’s creatures can thrive in the way they’re meant to. At present this feels far from the reality of the world we live in but we try to live our lives in a way that contributes to making it possible. We’re white, middle class, educated, and a great deal of privilege and responsibility comes with those things. We were born and raised and live in countries that were colonised by our ancestors – Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. We don’t believe colonisation ended sometime in the past – we see that it continues around us and that we can easily play a part in its continuation if we’re thoughtless enough. We’re committed to being allies to indigenous cultures wherever we are, and we have much to learn for that commitment to be in action. Part of the learning is understanding whose stories it’s appropriate for us to tell and how to tell those stories respectfully. This is a constant work in progress. We came to filmmaking with a mission to share stories that contribute to creating a new narrative for humanity to live by. It’s profoundly important to us, but it’s not a mission that sits above our drive to create beautiful, engaging films – it’s on a par with it. We live in a way that is aligned with the message we share in our films: low waste, minimal long-distance travel, growing as much of our own food as possible, and we prioritise secondhand and/or local for pretty much everything except underwear 🙂 We strive to be useful and connected members of our communities and we support initiatives and movements that promote a move towards energy descent and a degrowth economy.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs – about how Happen Films is funded, how to buy our films and how to share and screen our films. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) Click on an item in the dropdown menu below to learn more about everything from purchasing a film, watching a film and sharing a film to trouble shooting and even what gear we currently use! How do I watch your films? Most of our films are free to view on YouTube and can also be watched from right here on our website. Check out Watch Films in the main menu. You can also purchase our films. Why? So that you have them permanently available on your device to view ad-free, offline! And so that you can hold a public screening event. For that you'll need a license. Visit the store for more information. I’ve purchased a film but don’t have a download link / can’t download it. What can I do? If you bought a mid-length or feature film from our Store you will have received a purchase receipt at the email address you provided (check your Spam folder if this didn’t reach you immediately). That email contains your download link. The link does not expire, so please keep the email, so that you can access it again if needed. To download the film, simply click on the link. You’ll be prompted to choose where to save it. If you bought a short film, you'll receive an automatic reply by email and we'll receive an alert about your purchase. As soon as that email is seen you'll be sent a download link in a second email. (Please allow two working days.) The download time will depend on the file size (i.e., whether you’ve bought a short film or a feature film) and your internet connection. Once downloaded, store the file on a hard drive, USB stick, or in a folder on your computer from which you can play it. If the download is failing, the most likely problem is that your internet connection is not reliable enough for this purpose. You could try asking a friend to download it and then transfer the file to a hard drive or USB stick. If that’s not an option, please get in touch using the form on the Contact page . To watch a film on your iPad or iPhone, you’ll need to download it to your computer and then sync it to your device. I’m screening in a cinema and they’ve requested a DCP file. In New Zealand and Australia we have a limited number of DCP files available for an additional $20 plus postage. Most cinemas require the film 1–2 weeks ahead of the screening date and we’ll need at least 2 weeks’ notice to get it to you. We don't have DCP files for films under 30 minutes in length. Can I use your short films on my website/in my educational course? If you mean you’d like to embed one of our YouTube videos on your website, we’d of course be very happy for you to do so! Please do not download and re-upload our films, with or without changes, to your own channel or website. We earn an important part of our income from YouTube ad revenue and you would be taking our creative work for your own profit. Thanks for not doing this! If you'd like to upload one of our films for course attendees to access, then we will charge a small fee for usage. In this case, please get in touch using the form on the Contact page including info about the course, the number of people expected to be accessing it, and what you charge. If you have other plans for using our films in an educational or entry-cost setting, send us a message from the Contact page with full details. What are the films rated? Living the Change is officially rated PG and The New Peasants is rated M. The rest of our films are exempt from rating due to being documentaries containing no offensive language. Do the films have subtitles? Our budget hasn’t extended to professional subtitling, but we have a wonderful team of volunteer translators from around the world who have contributed translations to some of our films. Check the film page to find subtitles available for download or go to YouTube to watch the film, where there may be more available. If you’re interested in adding subtitles, send us a message from the Contact page and we can send you the English subtitles with time code stamps. Are you interested in corporate branding collaborations? No, but thanks for asking! While our YouTube videos are monetised (meaning an ad plays at the beginning of each film – a critical income source for us), we choose not to collaborate with corporate brands or to sell products via our films. We don’t plan on changing our minds about this – even if your product is super-duper eco awesomeness – so we wish you well with your own business but request that you don’t email us offering a collaboration. Thanks again! How is Happen Films funded? We have a whole page about this! Click this link to head to the How is Happen Films Funded? webpage . What gear do you use? Our gear is the part of our lives that causes us the most conflict! For that reason, we prioritise buying secondhand wherever possible (obviously not batteries, nor hard drives). Our current gear is as follows: Main video camera: Canon C70 Lenses: Canon 16-35mm f/4, Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8; Sigma 50mm f/1.4; Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 External monitor: SmallHD Focus Audio: Sennheiser G4 wireless system, Sanken COS-11D lav mics, Sound Devices Mix-pre 3 ii audio recorder Tripod: Manfrotto 290 xtra with 701 HDV fluid head Stabiliser: DJI RS 3 Pro Editing computer: 2023 Macbook Pro Editing software: Final Cut Pro X Editing harddrive: Synology NAS What community guidelines do you operate under on social media? In order to create a positive and engaging environment within the Happen Films social media community, we ask that everyone treats each other with respect. While at times people within this community might disagree with ideas expressed by others, all opinions and viewpoints are welcome. However, insults, threats or harassment of other people or organisations, offensive statements and illegal content will not be tolerated. Happen Films reserves its right to delete – to the extent that each respective social media platform allows – any post or comment that is defamatory, indecent, hateful, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, sexist, disgraceful, vulgar, or inappropriate; and unintelligible or irrelevant posts.

Read the Happen Films Accessibility and Inclusivity statement. ACCESSIBILITY AND INCLUSIVITY At Happen Films, we’re committed to making our films and this website accessible to everyone and inclusive of all. We’re actively learning in this space and acknowledge all the learning still to come, so let us know how we’re doing. You can use the form on this page at any time to send us feedback, highlight areas that need more work, and help us better serve your needs! How are we doing? Use the form below to provide any feedback about how we can improve accessibility. Your name Your email Subject Your message * Required Submit message Your message has been submitted Our commitment to accessibility and inclusivity “Through our work, we want to make a tangible impact. Not just through films that inspire us to live more simply on the planet, but in embracing and encouraging a culture of inclusivity and diversity.” Antoinette Wilson & Jordan Osmond, Happen Films More inclusive representation Part of that commitment is to continuously strive to represent a wider range of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, and physical abilities. We want to more inclusively represent our audience, enable more people to see themselves reflected in our work, and make it easier to access that work. One step towards this goal has been in making changes to this website to make it more navigable and readable for people of all abilities and preferences, and in all situations. It’s a work in progress, so please bear with us as we learn what is needed to truly meet everyone’s needs! Audio-described film versions We’ve released two films with audio description (AD). Fools & Dreamers and Together We Grow can now be played with full AD , making them more accessible for people with visual impairment or those wanting to listen, not watch. Our aim is to continue adding this feature to future films where we can, along with closed captions (CC) in one or more languages, and we’ve already started to build this into film budgets. Whose stories are ours to tell? Another step is for us to consider inclusivity as part of the pre-production process for each film, and in how we operate as a company in general. Whose stories are ours to tell and what is the most appropriate way to tell them? Whose stories are missing from our past work? In what ways can our films express our commitment to being good Treaty partners (Tangata Tiriti) in Aotearoa New Zealand? We welcome your thoughts about the ways we can achieve these goals, and how you feel about the changes we’re making. All feedback is welcome – use the form on this page at any time. 🙂 Working to improve accessibility and inclusivity Implementing the changes we want to make is a big process and will take time. Below is a list of what we’ve done so far towards meeting our accessibility and inclusivity goals, what we’re currently working on, and what’s in the pipeline for the future. Work completed so far New brand identity fully compliant with W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 to meet AA standards for colour contrast. Release of first Happen Films audio-described films. Improvements that are in progress Fixing heading structure, adding alt-tags, and readability issues across the Happen Films website. Including funding for audio-described versions in budget proposals for all new films. Building stronger relationships with those sectors of our community who have been poorly represented in our films to date. A list of future work What would you like to see here? Please let us know and we’ll add it to the list.

FILMS ABOUT SIMPLE LIVING As our so-called developed societies have become ever more deeply entrenched in running the ratrace and consuming 'stuff' we've created all the waste and sickness in planet and people that are the inevitable result. For some, the calling to a simpler way of life overrides the messaging from advertising and social norms. What drives them? What does a simpler way of being in the world look like? In these films we gain an insight into a variety of approaches to living with less, from holding it as a philosophical value to employing it as a strategy in some elements of the day to day. Here are stories from people who have thought deeply about how they live in the world and have insights to share with us all.
