Raising Environmental Awareness Through Award Winning Films with Rebecca & Josh Tickell

  • Summary

  • Welcome to today's episode featuring two remarkable guests, Josh and Rebecca Tickell, acclaimed documentary filmmakers whose impactful work has been instrumental in environmental activism both domestically and globally. With a portfolio of award-winning short and feature films, they have collaborated with actors, politicians, and environmental leaders to create powerful cinematic experiences that resonate with millions, driving significant contributions to environmental and social causes. Teaming up with his wife Rebecca, they continued to produce impactful films like "The Big Fix" and "PUMP," where they shed light on critical energy-related issues. In 2017, Josh's book "Kiss the Ground" became an Amazon bestseller, accompanied by a documentary narrated by Woody Harrelson, earning praise globally. Their film studio, Big Picture Ranch, serves as a creative place for thought-provoking media content aimed at inspiring positive change. Rebecca's talent for crafting compelling narrative has led to films that transcend politics and culture, catalyzing real-world change through legislation and policy reform. One of the first documentaries my wife and I watched was The Earthing Movie, and it inspired us to change our daily routines. This shift improved our energy and health. Only when we are all truly healthy, then we can tackle even larger goals, like trying our best to leave this planet a better place. What I personally enjoy about their work is that they do not only raise awareness of our global problems, but they address the root causes and at the end they of their movies and documentaries, viewers are empowered with real actionable solutions. In this episode, we delve into their remarkable journey, explore their latest projects, and speak about sustainability, filmmaking, and the power of making a difference in the world.
