"In this Altman-esque tale of a desert community ravaged by water scarcity, every drop counts, and people's choices matter. An indie movie for the Landman audience, ALFALFA is a case study for bold, entertaining storytelling with an impact."

Thank you to everyone who showed up for Earth Day 2026 in NYC and around the world!

A special thank you to our partners at Okamoto Studio who brought our “Melting Good” art installation to life. The piece is meant to represent the interconnectedness of our challenges. From the looming climate crisis to threats to our democracy, we are all in this together. Our challenges are interwoven and so are the solutions.
