This film looks back at the first summer and winter solstice gatherings of 1970 and 1971. Faces, places, and moments of everyday life come together to tell the story of a community taking shape.
Part of The Living Legacy Project, it shows how shared memories can become a film that connects those who were there with generations who came after.
I create personal films that bring photographs, memories, and stories together through imagery, music, and words. A film can celebrate someone you love, trace a family’s journey, or preserve the history of a community.
You don’t need a lifetime of photographs to begin. A few treasured images and the stories behind them can become something meaningful to share today and pass on to future generations.
Beginning with an original poem brought to life through song, this tribute weaves personal photographs with imaginative imagery to celebrate Hari Jiwan’s life, relationships, and spirit.
The lyrics carry the story, while images created with the help of AI extend a small collection of photographs. Playful scenes add humor and affection—a reminder that a legacy film can be joyful, personal, and full of life.

HARI JIWAN — A 83RD BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE
A life celebrated through music
A handful of photographs. A memory you often return to. Someone whose story you want your children to know.
Together, we can find the shape of your film and create something that feels true to the person, family, or community it celebrates.
YOUR STORY CAN BEGIN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
