Antoinette and Jordan founded Happen Films in 2015, with a mission to share solutions focused films with the world. Showcasing solutions is carried through to their own lives: they're committed to living low waste, low footprint both in their personal lives and in their approach to filmmaking.
Together We Grow is a film they're particularly passionate about as it describes a genuinely practical and achievable solution to communities regaining access to quality food, improved mental and physical health, and social connection – all elements that are so critical for a global population that urgently needs to reconnect at a local level.
