Talking to the Sun

Field notes on living a healthier life.

Talking to the Sun is a short documentary of astronomical proportions joining Farmer Frank as he takes care of his small spot on Earth, paving his own path from seed to harvest.

As he mentors people in his community who want to learn from his lifetime of experience, Frank is also learning… from mother nature.

Frank is an important part of our community, growing organic food and promoting healthy eating.

Project timeline: In production / filming until summer 2025. Editing along the journey inspiring short videos & photos here with a completed ~15-20 minute documentary this fall 2025.

Thank you to Field Notes for supporting and sponsoring Talking to the Sun! I love Field Notes and have been using their notebooks for over a decade! Field Notes offers smartly-designed, vintage-inspired pocket notebooks, notepads, journals, calendars, planners, and writing accoutrements.

We’re looking for one more sponsor to help with licensing music and art design. Please contact Megan Sweeney if interested.

Contact: megan@bigheartfilm.com - learn more about Megan’s work here. Recently I directed a short documentary, Way the Wind Blows, which has been in several film festivals and it aired on PBS 12 Jan. 7.

Why? I met Frank while filming for the Louisville Farmers Market in Colorado. I love his thoughts about how he grows healthy food and think of his words as a metaphor for living a good life. A documentary about Frank could be beneficial for all people and all ages.I am LOVING this project!
