Walk with me

Documentary (56min)

Amazon Prime
Forbes article

WALK WITH ME follows the filmmaker as he adjusts from a car-dependent American city to an eminently walkable Scandinavian city. He also reflects on his more recent conversations with thought-leaders he interviewed for LIFE ON WHEELS, a film that focused on mobility and current infrastructure.

Overall, Walk with Me looks at the consequences of American immobilization on public health. Hodge explores how walking contributes to community power: why people walk to protest and celebrate, why we take walks to settle our minds, and why walking in nature has beneficial effects on psychology.

Running roughly 55 minutes, WALK WITH ME blends personal narrative with prominent societal themes, but at its heart, it’s a simple invitation for all of us to lace up our shoes and go for a walk.

Personal Mobility Vehicle

Manuel encourages us to consider alternative forms of mobility. Instead of using a car all the time he asks the question does it make sense to use a personal mobility vehicle. What are the trade offs? What are the benefits ?

Welcome to “Life on Wheels” – a story about our doomed love affair with the car and of the coming mobility revolution. This film and web project looks at the current state of mobility around the world and it explores new, more sustainable ways of getting from here to there. In the near future cities will be designed to facilitate alternative forms of transportation. Car-ownership and usage patterns will change dramatically…

Cheilectomy

A cheilectomy is a surgical procedure that removes bone spurs from the base of the big toe. Patients with a condition called hallux rigidis, or arthritis of the big toe, have pain and stiffness in the big toe. The word cheilectomy comes from the Greek word Cheilos, meaning "lip."

DEAD END

Drama in progress

How do families change as death approaches? Hodge Arts recently developed a preliminary pilot for a dramatic series entitled “Dead End.” Our purpose is to peel away the veneer of a family as they attempt to cope with the impending loss of a parent. While each character has a private agenda, they struggle with conflicting emotions around trust, personal beliefs, duty, righteousness and all the complexities that the dying leave in their wake.

Love lost in Niagara Falls

Short film

This film is about love, the failure of the American dream, and the magnetic power of untamed nature. Juxtaposed against the beauty and force that is Niagara Falls, this vulnerable portrait of people in a city on the edge reminds us that against all odds, love never dies.

Niagara Falls - a vision for future

Documentary in progress

To stand at the very edge of Niagara Falls is to feel the water’s primal pull. There, where the roaring river drops away at your feet, you can partake in an ageless miracle. Yet the nearby city of Niagara Falls has seen one of the most remarkable declines of any urban center. Where some see total collapse in less than a lifetime, others see a hometown with strong roots and culture. Still others see a landscape worshiped for its divinity over several millennia.

VO - Peter Coyote

Broken Bridge

Community service

We created a short film that give voice to the concerns of the local residents of the Half Moon Bay area about the "Broken" Hernandez Bridge. We'd like our representatives to move quickly to repair this and to do what is necessary to maintain other bridges on the coastal trail that either need to be repaired or replaced.
