Martha’s Vineyard's great ponds have been a source of sustenance and beauty for countless generations of Islanders. Recently, many of these ponds appear to be at a tipping point, with algae blooms choking out shellfish, and cyanobacteria making the water unsafe for pets and humans.

Produced by Circuit Films in partnership with the Vineyard Conservation Society, Great Ponds is a three-part series documenting the health of these spectacular coastal ponds, and what our community is doing to help.

Episodes 1 and 2 have been completed, and you can watch both here. We are currently fundraising for the third episode.

In a world stripped of authentic human connection, a bereaved mother battles to save her grief-stricken husband from NeuraLife, a virtual platform indistinguishable from reality. Spanning virtual reality, reality and memory, Heartworm is about how we rebuild ourselves in the face of insurmountable grief, and the astonishing power we all carry within. The Arens’ storytelling captures both the fragility and strength of the human spirit in a visually striking and emotionally rich way.

The Vineyard Voices Tell Their Stories – Oral History Project encompasses ongoing collection and sharing of new interviews from the Vineyard community by oral historian Linsey Lee, and the publication of a fourth volume of her Vineyard Voices (VV4).

The project captures the essence of the diverse and vibrant place that we call Martha’s Vineyard through first-hand stories of its people–African Americans, Wampanoags, Portuguese, Cape Verdeans, Brazilians, New England Yankees, and others. The accounts are in the speaker’s own words, with the cadence and rhythms of speech intact. The themes are timeless–hardship, joy, natural beauty, the indomitable human spirit. These lyrical tales bring the past, and the present, alive, and teach us vital lessons for today.

TICKING POINT is a feature documentary following Martha's Vineyard as it mounts one of the country's first coordinated fights against ticks and the potentially life-threatening alpha-gal syndrome. With close access, the film captures residents, hunters, scientists, and public health officials working together to confront the crisis at its source. If the island pulls off a turnaround, it'll be the first case study of its kind, a blueprint for every community facing this next. If it can't, what does that mean for the rest of America as the aggressive lone star tick continues migrating north?

Directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Reece Robinson, who has a lifelong connection to Martha's Vineyard, TICKING POINT follows the island that might hold the answer for everywhere else.
