Create Hope.
Inspire Change.
Mission: To discover and illuminate Original Pursuits – the inspiring ideas of people who believe they can change the world.
Original Pursuit produces short documentaries to illuminate ChangeMakers—people who believe their enterprise will change our world for the better.
Perhaps you know one — a scientist, an engineer, a social entrepreneur, an artist, your teacher, a coach, or your neighbor, the inventor, working nights in his basement? Maybe you would prefer to sponsor their enterprise? If so, we are the callers. You are the called.
We produce short, inspirational films that change minds and perspectives, inspired by such classic works as Powers of Ten (Charles and Ray Eames, 9 min.) or 100,000 Beating Hearts (Peter Byck, 15 min.).
Here are three films just released that we hope will save Orca, an endangered species, the Southern Resident Killer Whale of the Salish Sea. Please share them with friends.
ANOUNCING A NEW THREE-FILM SERIES
Shared Waters of the Salish Sea
Order Now for Screening
Two iconic species of the Pacific Northwest, in waters shared by Washington State and British Columbia and are now threatened with extinction: a charismatic population of Orcas known as the Southern Resident Killer Whales and the food source they almost wholly depend on: Chinook salmon.
Original Pursuit has commissioned three powerful films (15 to 25 minutes in length) to illuminate the work being done by ChangeMakers to understand and perhaps solve this tragic problem.
