not just releases.
Blueberry Soup
Blueberry Soup is a feature documentary directed by Eileen Jerrett and produced by Wilma's Wish Productions that follows Iceland's citizen led constitutional reform, capturing how Icelanders gathered, debated, and drafted a new constitution through an open, participatory model.
The film serves as both a political and cultural chronicle, highlighting transparency, civic imagination, and the possibilities of grassroots democratic engagement.

From Iceland to New Zealand,
the film became a public square.
The Blueberry Soup Screening Tour brought the film into universities, community centers, libraries, and civic forums, pairing public screenings with facilitated discussions about participatory democracy and constitutional reform. Designed as a civic engagement initiative rather than a traditional release, the tour created space for audiences to reflect on transparency, citizen power, and local governance within their own communities.
A New Society
Funded by the International Panel on Social Progress & Princeton University
A New Society follows the International Panel on Social Progress, a collective of 300 scholars and social experts working to design solutions to the world's most pressing challenges. Through candid interviews with leading thinkers, the film examines new approaches to climate change, inequality, disease, and famine.
It asks what a civilization built around transparency, tolerance, and human dignity might look like, and how research can bridge the distance between policymakers, academia, and the public.
Cut & Paste
By cutting and pasting the different fragments of her life together and bringing to life the images she creates, a unique portrait of an artist is formed in this stylistically adventurous documentary.
Cut & Paste delves into the world of Candy Lucas, an artist from Auburn, New York, who expresses herself through a unique medium: collage. Lucas' story, and her particular outlook on life, is explored as the vivid worlds she creates in her work are brought to life through film, video, and animation.
