Principles Built on 3.8 Billion Years of Intelligence… Ready to Bring to Your Film
My sister, talent manager Nicole MacNaughton, and I founded High High Productions because we know that film shapes culture and we know that we are stronger together. We also know that our film community and our world need healing, realignment, and innovation as part of an interconnected web of life.
Flmmaking is changing fast — new technologies, mergers, shutdowns, tighter budgets, shorter timelines. Even big names are fighting for financing and distribution.
Bringing in the principles that Nature has been using successfully for billions of years, I help productions move more successfully with a regenerative approach that goes beyond “green sets” and checklists.
Together, we can build the more beautiful world we all know is possible, one story at a time.
How do we make the film in a way that leaves people, place, and process stronger — while improving flow, resilience, and long-term success?
Available as a consultant or embedded team member — from development through post, distribution, and marketing/PR.
Why Regenerative in Filmmaking?
Less harm is good. Net-positive is better.
Green production reduces harm. Regenerative production designs for value creation — for crew wellbeing, local community benefit, and an ecosystem-aware process that strengthens the project beyond release.
In a shifting industry — evolving labor realities, new distribution models, climate volatility, and values-savvy audiences — regenerative becomes a competitive edge.
The Advantage
Regenerative isn’t a constraint. It’s leverage — with proof of concept.

- Stronger collaboration
- Smarter planning and risk management
- Less waste, less friction
- Better PR and partner stories

- A production experience that feels more human and more sustainable — for all involved, and all impacted
