Jorge & the Giant Forest | A Restor Story
January 5, 2026

Set in the dramatic mountains covered in atactic rainforest just outside of Paraty, Brazil. Jorge grew up deep in this forest and has committed his life to understanding and working with this environment. Master Forager, Mycologist, Agroforester, Ethnobotanist, Tour guide, Natural Material Researcher are just a few of the hats he wears. You could say he’s truly living by the ethos of diversity..

Although there was a strong language barrier it was evident Jorge was a force in the community but in the least forceful way possible. A warm, kind and sometimes silly man. Thank you for letting us tag along for a week. I only fully understood the depth of Jorge’s knowledge of this little pocket of the world once I got back and had all the material translated. Unfortunately a lot of the details of specific plants or mushrooms, their history, uses or cultural significance didn’t quite make it into the final cut. It’s always a struggle to condense a week’s experience into a 10 minute edit. I never really feel I do it justice but I at least hope this doc gives you a sense of the man. A great man.

January 26, 2020

While the Spanish almond industry booms to meet international demand, Andalucia, its people, and its land are on the front line of the fight against desertification. The hard felt effects of a rapidly changing climate are forcing farmers to question the way in which they interact with the land.

Our planet has passed a crucial point where agriculture must now go beyond sustainability and work towards regeneration. This is a story of optimism, of the people proving this change can be a reality.

This film will champion regenerative farming using powerful human stories to act as a microcosm for change across the entire food and agricultural industries.
