We make solutions-focused documentaries that help guide us back into harmony with the rest of nature; that inspire people to develop healing ways of living; that educate, support, and empower. Stories that make things Happen!
We’re currently living through an exceptional time in human history, where what we’ve known as normal is breaking down due to environmental, cultural, and social limits being reached. This metacrisis has created the conditions for a massive global shift in the way we relate to the world and each other. We need to transition to not just living ‘sustainably’, but in a way that heals and regenerates the damage that’s being done. So how do we go about this? Exploring this question is what Happen Films was founded upon.
We make films because we believe it’s the most powerful way we can share new ways of thinking, being, and doing. Happen Films has been our way of contributing toward creating a new story for humanity to live by, so that all of Earth’s creatures can thrive.
Currently we're taking a break from making new films. We'll update here if there are new releases coming after 2026. Thank you to everyone who has supported us here over the past few years – you've made our films Happen!
