Throughout the past century, there have been countless advancements in technology that have pushed cinema forward. Everything from the cameras and format of the medium on which films are shot, to the ways they are edited, and finally to the various distribution formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2020 we saw the debut of Josh and Rebecca Tickell\u2019s feature documentary, Kiss the Ground<\/em><\/a> on Netflix. Josh and Rebecca run Big Picture Ranch<\/a>, a production company that focuses on documentaries about the environment. Big Picture Ranch is literally based in a converted barn in Ojai, CA, about an hour east of Santa Barbara, in the Los Padres National Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kiss the Ground<\/em> (KTG) is an illuminating and inspiring film that provides an important look at the state of climate change and our environment.
